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]
A 20-year-old man was hospitalized for 2 months after the onset of vomiting, cramping abdominal pain and dysuria. He had been diagnosed as IgA nephropathy 4 months ago. His mother was recently diagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). [jnmjournal.org]
- 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 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]

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]

- 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]
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
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. [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]

Pathophysiology

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. [winchesterhospital.org]
Early recognition of pheochromocytoma with gastrointestinal manifestations will facilitate proper management and prevent possible lethal outcome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
