Enhancing the utility of antroduodenal manometry in pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction [PDF]
Antroduodenal manometry (ADM) and histopathology are currently employed to aid the diagnosis of pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (PIPO). Limited data are available on the reliability of ADM analysis and its correlation with histopathology.

Idiopathic steatorrhoea with intestinal pseudo-obstruction [PDF]
This is a case report illustrating a disorder of small intestine motility producing gross muscular hypertrophy and associated with steatorrhoea. The literature is briefly reviewed, and it is suggested that in idiopathic steatorrhoea there is ineffectual peristalsis which leads to stagnation of intestinal contents and hypertrophy of its muscular wall.
