Presentation
We report a patient with SLE who presented with intestinal pseudo-obstruction, ureterohydronephrosis and megacholedochus, and present images that illustrate megaviscera simultaneously involving all 3 visceral organs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The frequencies present were determined by autoregressive modelling using a running spectral analysis method. 6 After running spectral analysis of gastric ECA the dominant frequency was determined if present. [doi.org]

Gastrointestinal
- Abdominal Pain
A boy aged 2 years and 6 months presented with a 7-day history of fever, coffee-ground vomit, and abdominal pain. Abdominal radiography and ultrasound showed a dilated duodenum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The abdominal CT revealed uncomplicated sigmoid diverticulitis. One month after being discharged from the hospital, the patient returned with abdominal pain, constipation, nausea and vomiting, and was then admitted by our Nephrology Department. [revistanefrologia.com]
- Nausea
This has led to extensive investigations that have revealed an important role for cannabinoids and their receptors in the regulation of nausea and emesis. [en.wikipedia.org]
Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and malnutrition. Vincristine-related pseudo-obstruction has been reported in the literature, but its description in children and recommendations for management are lacking. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Compazine - Used for nausea in IV and oral form but it causes me severe blurry vision so I discontinued it’s use. Phenergan - Used for nausea. I have had this in injection, IV, tablet and liquid form. [inflamed-and-untamed.com]
Symptoms Abdominal distension and discomfort, bloating and nausea are common, particularly after meals. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
- Abdominal Distension
Although Flomoxef was administered following admission, the boy's fever persisted and abdominal distension gradually worsened. On the 4th day, dry lips, red eyes and a strawberry tongue were noted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
FIGURE 1 Abdominal radiograph during an episode of pseudo-obstruction. She was admitted to our ward with another episode of abdominal distension, nausea, and constipation. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Ten neonates presented with abdominal distension and bilious vomiting and an abdominal x ray suggestive of distal bowel obstruction. [doi.org]
Case report We report the case of a 62-year-old male admitted with abdominal distension, pain and no bowel movements. He had been diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis three years previously. [scielo.isciii.es]
- Failure to Thrive
As a result, many children suffer from malnutrition, failure to thrive, and weight loss. It is common for doctors to suspect and diagnose this condition soon after birth or before a child’s first birthday in the cases of primary pseudo-obstruction. [childrenshospital.org]

[…] transplantation, which is a treatment option for patients with serious intestinal diseases who have become dependent on total parenteral nutrition. [uu.diva-portal.org]
Workup
An extensive workup was performed and auto-antibody screening was negative. A capillaroscopy of the nail bed according to the suspicion of SSc was positive for advanced SSc and an esophageal manometry showed > 30% of non-transmitted waves. [scielo.isciii.es]
[…] mainly clinical and confirmed by endoscopic or radiological exclusion of mechanical causes as well as by evidence of air-fluid levels in distended bowel loops. 3– 9 Standard or ambulatory intestinal manometry, although not mandatory in the diagnostic workup [doi.org]
Recommendations: The expert group does not recommend the use of radio-opaque marker studies for the assessment of small bowel transit in the diagnostic workup of PIPO. [journals.lww.com]

- Bowel Distention
Ultimately, the patient developed symptoms akin to bowel obstruction and a CT scan revealed small bowel distention with multiple air-fluid levels (Figure 3). [biomarkerres.biomedcentral.com]
Biopsy
- Cytoplasmic Inclusion Bodies
Sections from these segments showed eosinophilic periodic acid Schiff stain and desmin positive cytoplasmic inclusion bodies in the myocytes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
The treatment regimen is discussed in this case report. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Medical treatment [ edit ] Prucalopride, [10] [11] pyridostigmine, [3] metoclopramide, cisapride, and erythromycin may be used, but they have not been shown to have great efficacy. In such cases, treatment is aimed at managing the complications. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis
It improved his prognosis remarkably and prevented the need for end-of-life care. He experienced no adverse effects throughout the course of therapy. The treatment regimen is discussed in this case report. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
The latter form can be diagnosed early in life due to a genetic etiology or in adulthood when a viral origin may be considered. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology is similar for acute colonic pseudo-obstruction. There's more to see -- the rest of this entry is available only to subscribers. Citation Williams, Dominique, et al., editors. "Acute Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction (Ileus)." [unboundmedicine.com]
Epidemiology
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and risk factors for systemic lupus erythematosus-related intestinal pseudo-obstruction (SLE-IPO). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Summary Epidemiology The prevalence remains unknown. The male-to-female ratio is about 1.5:1 to 4:1. [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology
We comment on the pathophysiology and on the clinical importance of amyloidosis-associated intestinal pseudo-obstruction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This article is aimed at reviewing the current knowledge on pathophysiology, clinical features and management of patients affected by CIPO. ETIOLOGY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY CIPO is idiopathic in the majority of cases. [doi.org]
Prevention
It usually prevents the body from absorbing nutrients. As a result, many children suffer from malnutrition, failure to thrive, and weight loss. [childrenshospital.org]
Prevention Many cases of intestinal pseudo-obstruction cannot be prevented. But certain measures can be taken after surgery to help avoid the complication of intestinal pseudo-obstruction. [uvahealth.com]
