This study reports on managing chronic idiopathic pseudo-obstruction with venting enterostomy and home parenteral nutrition. These treatments successfully improved symptoms and allowed oral intake, suggesting long-term safety.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Chronic idiopathic pseudo-obstruction is a rare gastrointestinal motility disorder.
  • Previous aggressive medical treatments with prokinetic drugs failed in these patients.

Observation:

  • Two patients with chronic idiopathic pseudo-obstruction were treated.
  • Symptomatic occlusions were frequent and debilitating.

Findings:

  • Venting enterostomy reduced the frequency of obstructive symptoms.
  • Home parenteral nutrition corrected malnutrition.
  • These interventions improved obstruction symptoms and enabled oral alimentation.

Implications:

  • Venting enterostomy and home parenteral nutrition offer a safe and effective long-term management strategy for chronic idiopathic pseudo-obstruction.
