Abstract :
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a rare intestinal motility disorder. It is characterized by recurrent or persistent findings of intestinal obstruction in the absence of any mechanical obstruction. Various systemic or congenital diseases are held responsible in the etiology; moreover, it is accepted as idiopathic upon failure of detection of a true reason. We present hereby two rare cases who had been admitted with the symptoms of nausea, vomiting, constipation and tetany, and were diagnosed as chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction.
