Abstract
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a fairly common clinical condition. It is often asosociated with the taking of phenothiazines, tricyclic antidepressants and anti-Parkinsonian drugs, or with another disease. Treatment is conservative, unless gross colonic distension cannot be relieved or perforation is suspected. Vasopressin (Pitressin) may be a useful adjunct in management.
