A frequently missed entity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE): Intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IpsO).
Medical Journal of Malaysia 2017 December
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IpsO) is defined as presence of clinical features of intestinal obstruction without identifiable mechanical obstructive lesion. IpsO is an uncommon gastrointestinal manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is largely under-recognised. There are only over 30 published cases in English literature on SLE-related IpsO. Herein, we report two cases of SLE-related IpsO to illustrate the importance of early recognition to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention, as SLE-related IpsO responds well to systemic high dose corticosteroids. These two cases also demonstrate the apparent association of IpsO with uretero-hydronephrosis, suggesting that the possible mechanism could be smooth muscle dysmotility.
