Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by symptoms related to pulmonary dysfunction and pancreatic insufficiency. Constipation, though a frequent complaint of patients with CF, receives less attention. We report a case of acquired segmental megacolon and constipation necessitating surgical colonic resection in an adult patient with CF. The differential diagnosis and possible causes of megacolon in this setting are discussed. |
