Current insights on chronic intestinal dysmotility: pseudo-obstruction and enteric dysmotility

Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2023 Nov 6. doi: 10.17235/reed.2023.10038/2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic 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.PMID:37929992 | DOI:10.17235/reed.2023.10038/2023
