Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO), one of the most severe gastrointestinal motility
disorders, is a condition characterized by a clinical picture mimicking small bowel occlusion
with related symptoms and signs in the absence of demonstrable mechanical obstruction.

Intestinal pseudo-obstruction can occur in association with systemic neurological …
