The colon in the pseudoobstructive syndrome.
Clinics in Gastroenterology 1986 October
Colonic pseudoobstruction can occur as part of a generalized chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction syndrome or as an isolated entity. Isolated colonic pseudoobstruction can occur in two unrelated forms: the acute and chronic forms. Acute colonic pseudoobstruction is frequently a hospital-acquired disease that arises as a complication of other illnesses. The syndrome must be recognized and treated with early colonoscopic decompression to prevent cecal or colonic perforation. Chronic colonic pseudoobstruction is a syndrome of many causes. The prognosis of patients with chronic colonic pseudoobstruction is much better than that of generalized chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction, because the patients become asymptomatic with appropriate operations. The pathogenesis of acute colonic pseudoobstruction and several types of chronic colonic pseudoobstruction is not known. Further investigations should include bacteriologic study, histopathologic studies (examinations of smooth muscle and myenteric plexus), and examination of extrinsic nerves of the colon. With these approaches, a better understanding of the pathogenesis of these syndromes will be achieved.
