ENGLISH ABSTRACT
JOURNAL ARTICLE
[Chronic small intestine obstructions].
La Revue du Praticien 1993 March 16
Chronic small bowel obstruction may be related either to disordered motility or to progressive chronic stenoses. Disordered motility (or intestinal pseudo-obstruction) is the consequence for muscular and/or intrinsic nerve impairment with 2 main types, one of which is primary (including so-called visceral myopathies and visceral neuropathies), the other one being secondary (generally due to systemic, or sometimes immunologic disease). Chronic stenoses have a different pathophysiology and occur in the setting of chronic inflammatory bowel disease or of systemic diseases such as vasculities. Chronic stenoses lead to intestinal stasis and in fine to mechanical obstruction. In any case, chronic obstruction poses difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problems. Management calls for tight medico-surgical cooperation. Atypical surgical operations may be warranted, and specific, sometimes aggressive medical care is mandatory. Moreover the nutritional consequences of chronic small bowel obstruction may become highly disabling due to alimentary restriction, disordered transit, bacterial overgrowth and malabsorption. In this setting nutritional support should be a matter of prime concern.
