Abstract

The extremely rare case of an idiopathic chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction is pointed out here. This disease would manifest myomechanically by highly active, uncontrollable, non-propulsive contraction. It is caused by a collapse of smooth muscle control with cholinergic and beta adrenergic receptors being partially blocked, and by lacking reaction to substances which act on smooth muscles.
