  • Title: Intestinal obstruction and pseudo-obstruction in patients with systemic sclerosis.
    Author: Zapatier JA, Ukleja A.
    Journal: Acta Gastroenterol Latinoam; 2013 Sep; 43(3):227-30. PubMed ID: 24303689.
    Abstract:
    Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a known complication of patients with systemic sclerosis, manifested as nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal distension and pain. We report a series of cases with systemic sclerosis that presented with signs of intestinal obstruction. In all cases, the differentiation between a pseudo-obstruction and true mechanical obstruction remained a formidable challenge. Our goal was to present different scenarios of patients with systemic sclerosis and features of intestinal obstruction, with a review on its clinical approach.
