AI Article Synopsis
- Chronic intestinal dysmotility is a rare disorder that causes digestive issues resembling a mechanical blockage, but without any physical obstruction.
- It has multiple causes and is diagnosed primarily through small bowel manometry, especially in severe cases.
- The condition can be divided into two types: intestinal pseudo-obstruction and enteric dysmotility, which both involve abnormal bowel movement but differ in outlook and treatment approaches.
Article Abstract
Chronic intestinal dysmotility is a rare and debilitating digestive disorder characterized by symptoms of mechanical obstruction without an organic lesion. It has diverse causes and involves various pathological mechanisms. Small bowel manometry is the preferred diagnostic method, particularly for patients with severe and progressive symptoms. The condition can be categorized as intestinal pseudo-obstruction and enteric dysmotility, both entities share abnormal small bowel motility, but with important differences in prognosis and management.
