Isolated intestinal transplantation for megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome: case report.
[megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome]
MMIHS
is
a
rare
congenital
disease
.
It
is
characterized
by
distended
urinary
bladder
,
small
colon
and
intestinal
hypoperistalsis
,
or
aperistalsis
with
normal
morphology
.
There
is
no
specific
treatment
for
MMIHS
,
and
most
patients
have
to
be
maintained
by
TPN
,
which
frequently
causes
TPN-related
liver
failure
,
loss
of
venous
access
,
or
catheter-related
sepsis
.
The
prognosis
of
patients
with
MMIHS
is
poor
,
and
most
patients
die
early
.
Multivisceral
transplantation
including
stomach
,
duodenum
,
intestine
,
and
liver
has
been
used
for
the
treatment
of
patients
with
MMIHS
because
these
patients
often
have
liver
failure
.
We
report
an
eight
-
yr
-old
patient
with
MMIHS
who
was
treated
with
isolated
intestinal
transplantation
.
She
had
completely
oral
intake
during
the
four
yr
of
follow-up
.
The
experience
in
this
case
suggests
isolated
intestinal
transplantation
may
be
indicated
in
selected
cases
with
MMIHS
.
