  • Title: [Idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction].
    Author: Imhof M, Schmidt E, Lehmann L, Bruch HP, Muffert S, Henrich H.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1986 Aug; 57(8):506-9. PubMed ID: 3769629.
    Abstract:
    The extremely rare case of an idiopathic chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction is pointed out here. This disease would manifest myomechanically by highly active, uncontrollable, non-propulsive contraction. It is caused by a collapse of smooth muscle control with cholinergic and beta adrenergic receptors being partially blocked, and by lacking reaction to substances which act on smooth muscles.
