Abstract:
Visceral myopathy is a rare disorder characterized by atrophy,losing and fibrosis of visceral smooth muscle.Digestive tract is often invaded by the lesions,and the symptoms are various according to different lesions and degrees.Small intestinal involvement is characterized by abdominal distension,diarrhea and vomiting.Colon involvement is characterized by chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction.Malnutrition and hypoproteinemia may be secondary to this disease.The diagnosis of visceral myopathy is difficult,paralytic ileus,chronic constipation and systemic sclerosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis.The progression of the disease is slow,and the longterm prognosis is poor.In this article,the diagnosis and treatment of visceral myopathy causing acute intestinal pseudoobstruction were introduced based on the clinical data of 1 patient.
