Abstract

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a clinical syndrome characterised by symptoms and signs of intestinal obstruction in the absence of a mechanical lesion of the intestinal lumen. The diagnosis is often difficult and relies on clinical, radiological and manometric grounds. We present here a case in which such a diagnosis was suspected, but a thorough in-depth evaluation revealed that the symptoms were due to a treatable cause--abdominopelvic adhesions.
