Abstract
|
|
|
|
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare digestive syndrome characterized by symptoms and signs of intestinal obstruction in the absence of mechanical obstruction. A 48-year-old female presented at our facility with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Simple abdominal radiography revealed small bowel gas and ileus. Computed tomography also revealed a dilated small bowel, but there was no evidence of mechanical obstruction. Esophageal function was decreased based on high-resolution manometry and the gastric emptying time was prolonged on a gastric emptying scan. The patient recovered with conservative treatment. We report a case of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction with esophageal and gastric dysfunction.
