myopathic CIPO
Synopsis
chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction (CIPO)
intestinal failure
visceral myopathy
atrophic muscularis propria or hypertrophic muscularis propria
atrophic pattern of injury to the muscularis propria
- vacuolar degeneration of myocytes
- loss of muscle fibers
- honeycomb pattern of fibrosis
Hypertrophic changes can be observed in visceral myopathy, but the hypertrophy typically represents only a minor feature, typically limited to the internal layer of the muscularis propria.
The muscular hypertrophy can be the dominant pattern of injury and can involve both layers of muscularis propria rather than just the inner circular layer.
