  • Abdominal distension, typically a symptom of an underlying disease or dysfunction in the body, rather than an illness in its own right
  • Gastric distension, bloating of the stomach when air is pumped into it, as in a medical procedure
  • Distention of blood vessels under increased blood pressure; see Template:Slink
