Abstract:
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare and serious motility disorder in gastrointestinal tract, which mimics mechanical intestinal obstruction clinically. It may be primary (idiopathic CIPO) or secondary to a organic, systemic or metabolic disorder. The etiology and mechanism of idiopathic CIPO are not yet clear. It might be linked to neuromuscular disorders of the digestive tract. Although there are a variety of diagnostic approaches, no standard diagnostic criterion has been achieved. Improper and delayed treatment may cause the increase in mortality. In this review article, the current status in management of idiopathic CIPO was summarized.
