Intestinal motility disorders of infants and children: classification, clinical manifestations and roentgenology.
[megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome]
Diseases
affecting
intestinal
motility
in
the
pediatric
age
group
are
reviewed
as
to
pathophysiology
,
clinical
manifestations
,
and
imaging
investigation
.
Acute
disease
includes
classical
paralytic
ileus
(
which
has
unique
causes
and
manifestations
in
the
infant
)
and
acute
regional
bowel
paralysis
.
Perinatal
motility
disorders
consist
of
a
group
of
related
clinical
syndromes
which
have
in
common
functional
intestinal
obstruction
.
Chronic
motility
disorders
are
divided
into
those
diseases
in
which
the
principal
abnormality
is
in
the
bowel
or
those
entities
where
the
gut
is
affected
as
part
of
a
generalized
disease
.
Regional
muscle
disease
includes
Hirschsprung
's
disease
and
allied
disorders
.
Some
recognized
causes
of
chronic
functional
obstruction
of
bowel
include
megacystis-
microcolon
-
intestinal
hypoperistalsis
syndrome
,
rare
enzymatic
disorders
,
several
discrete
forms
of
chronic
intestinal
pseudoobstruction
,
as
well
as
some
less
well-defined
entities
.
Clinical
and
pathologic
nature
and
methods
of
imaging
investigation
of
these
entities
are
considered
.
