Overview
Ileus is defined as reduction in intestinal motility in absence of any mechanical obstruction within the intestine.[1] Reduction or cessation of intestinal peristalsis prevent effective transmission of intestinal content which leads to constipation and abdominal distension.[2]
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Untreated ileus can lead to intestinal tissue ischemia, which elevates the risk of perforation and subsequently life threatening peritonitis.
Common Causes
- Reflectory ileus due to abdominal, pelvic or retroperitoneal surgeries[1]
- Medications[2][3] such as narcotics, anticholinergics, calcium channel blockers and antipsychotics
- General anaesthesia[1]
- Hypokalemia[3]
- Diabetes Mellitus[3]
- Intestinal hypoperfusion[3]
