Axonal dystrophy presenting as the megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome.
[megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome]
Megacystis-
microcolon
-
intestinal
hypoperistalsis
syndrome
(
MMIHS
)
is
a
neonatal
intestinal
syndrome
,
characterized
by
defective
peristalsis
and
bladder
dilatation
,
refractory
to
pharmacological
treatment
.
Examinations
of
bowel
and
bladder
have
failed
to
demonstrate
a
pathological
explanation
for
this
syndrome
.
We
describe
a
7
-
month
-old
female
infant
with
MMIHS
who
had
generalized
axonal
dystrophy
of
her
central
,
peripheral
,
and
autonomic
nervous
systems
,
which
may
provide
a
neuropathological
explanation
for
some
cases
of
MMIHS
.
