ABSTRACT
We report the case of a middle-aged man who had undergone two diagnostic laparoscopies with no significant findings after he was attended at the emergency department with cramping pain, abdominal distention and vomiting, with radiological images simulating a small bowel obstruction. After multiple hospitalisations and an extensive set of tests, including a genetic study, he was diagnosed with chronic pseudo-obstruction, an uncommon, unrecognides syndrome with high morbidity. Being aware of this pathology can make it easier to diagnose, and thereby, we can avoid unnecessary surgical interventions, because its management and treatment are mainly based on pharmacological therapy. After a proper diagnosis our patient's progression was satisfactory due to the treatment introduced, with no further hospitalisations.(AU)
