We report herein a case of intestinal amyloidosis with grave prognosis that caused intractable diarrhea and intestinal pseudo-obstruction, alternately in spite of intensive conservative treatment. A 44-year-old woman was admitted for fever, diarrhea, and crampy abdominal pain which had been
Pseudomembranous colitis usually presents with diarrhea in a clinical setting of recent antibiotic use. It is uncommon to see it as a cause of obstipation and colonic pseudo-obstruction. We report an unusual case of an elderly woman with hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive
CONCLUSIONS
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a rare complication resulting from a variety of disorders. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and malnutrition. Vincristine-related pseudo-obstruction has been reported in the literature, but its description in
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIP) is a rare and serious disorder of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract characterized as a motility disorder with the primary defect of impaired peristalsis; symptoms are consistent with a bowel obstruction, although mechanical obstruction cannot be identified.
METHODS
A 24-year-old female patient suffered for 4 months from recurrent abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Signs of an acute abdomen were the initial reason for admitting the patient to our hospital. The slim, pale patient had a complete bloated abdomen. Neurological status was
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction denotes the clinical picture that results due to the failure of intestinal peristalsis to overcome the normal resistance to flow and is characterized by recurrent episodes of signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction in the absence of any mechanical
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a disease characterized by episodes resembling mechanical obstruction in the absence of organic, systemic, or metabolic disorders. Pseudo-obstruction is an uncommon condition and can result from primary (40%) or secondary (60%) causes. The most common
Data are presented on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on small intestinal biopsies of children with chronic diarrhea. In particular, there were 230 patients aged 3 months to 13 years with the following diagnoses: chronic nonspecific diarrhea, cow's milk protein intolerance, soy protein
The mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy syndrome (MNGIE) is a rare and life-threatening, autosomal recessive, multisystem disorder, caused by the mutations in the thymidine phosphorylase gene. Herein, we report a case of a 21 year-old male with a long history of intestinal
Four young women presented with diarrhea, malabsorption, and intestinal pseudoobstruction. Intestinal biopsy specimens (both peroral and full-thickness) showed flat small intestinal mucosa, sparsity of crypts, and a widespread lymphoid infiltrate in the lamina propria, muscularis propria, and
We describe the clinicopathologic characteristics of three patients with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction and malabsorption. The patients were young women (average age, 25 years) who presented with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss that led to extreme inanition and
OBJECTIVE
To analyze and determine the clinical characteristics and diagnostic methods of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction(CIP).
METHODS
We reviewed the medical records of all 23 patients who diagnosed with CIP in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 1978 to 2000.
RESULTS
Twenty three
OBJECTIVE
Chronic Intestinal Pseudo Obstruction (CIPO) and Berdon Syndrome (BS) are motility disorders with still unclear pathophysiology, and challenging diagnosis and management. Patient and methods. 26 patients (8M/18F) treated of CIPO (21) or BS (5) at our institution between 1982-2009 were
Chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPS) is a rare condition in which there is a defective motility of the gastrointestinal tract of unknown cause leading to repeated bouts of intestinal obstruction without organic explanation. This syndrome groups several ill-defined varieties of
A 43-years-old female was admitted to our hospital because of facial erythema and photosensitivity in 1983 and was diagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). She was treated with betamethazone 2.5 mg/day as an outpatient. Abdominal pain and diarrhea were developed in September, 1995. So she
