Abstract
|
|
|
|
Amyloidosis is a disorder characterized by extracellular deposition of amyloid in various tissues and organs. Secondary amyloidosis occurs in patients with poorly controlled, slow-developing chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. Gastrointestinal amyloidosis may uncommonly present with intestinal pseudoobstruction. We report the case of a 37-year-old man with a 7-year history of ankylosing spondylitis who presented with intestinal pseudo-obstruction as a manifestations of secondary amyloidosis. We report this case along with a review of the relevant literature. (Korean J Med 74:S245-S249, 2008)
