Intestinal pseudoobstruction, neuronal, chronic idiopathic, X-linked

Chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudoobstruction (CIIP) is caused by severe abnormality of gastrointestinal motility. Patients have recurrent symptoms and signs of intestinal obstruction without any mechanical lesion (Auricchio et al., 1996). Some primary forms of CIIP are caused by defects of enteric neuronal cells: see Hirschsprung disease (see, e.g., HSCR1; 142623) and autosomal recessive visceral neuropathy (243180) (Tanner et al., 1976).
