Material type: Patient
Ileus is a disruption of the normal propulsive ability of the gastrointestinal tract.
Ileus is commonly defined simply as bowel obstruction.However, authoritative sources define it as decreased motor activity of the GI tract due to non-mechanical causes.In such sense, this does not include motility disorders that result from structural abnormalities, and, therefore, some mechanical obstructions are misnomers, such as gallstone ileus and meconium ileus, and are not true examples of ileus.
