Small & Large intestine 1 - د.مازن عبدالله Flashcards
whats the anatomy of the Small intestine ?
- its the largest( it represent 75% of all bowel) part extend from the GD junction to the ileocecal junction
- diameter at the GD is 4cm while it become narrow at the ileocecal junction about 2.5cm
- surface area around 95%
how long the large intestine is ?
its 1.5 m
what definition of the consiptation in WHO ?
- when the bowel movement is only 3 or less in a week
- when there is strain in quarter or whole bowel movement
- feel incomplete defecation
what the type of the consiptation ?
1- megcolon
2- non mega colon
what the type of the megacolon conspitation ?
1-Hirschspurge disease
(disease is a condition that affects the large intestine (colon) and causes problems with passing stool. The condition is present at birth (congenital) as a result of missing nerve cells in the muscles of the baby’s colon)
2- non-Hirschburge megrectum and megacolon
what the typs of the non megacolon constipation ?
1- slow transit
(reduced motility of the large intestine, caused by abnormalities of the enteric nerves.)
2-normal transit
(colonic motility (the way muscles contract and relax to move contents through the colon) is unaltered; stool moves through the colon at a normal rate.difficulties in stool passage, for example due to harder stools.)
whats the Idiopathic megarectum and megacolon ?
(means there is constipation of unknown etiology because the feces accumulation )
- pt will come with history of sever constipation , abdominal pain , abdominal distention and manual evacuation because of the fecal loading
- when we do abdominal exam feel hard fecal mass arise out of the pelvis
- when we do rectal examination we will saw large fecloma in the lumen and the anus is patulous (loose, open)
- we can do sigmidoscopy
how to diagnosis pt with megarectum and megacolon ?
- pt will come with history of sever constipation , abdominal pain , abdominal distention and manual evacuation because of the fecal loading
- when we do abdominal exam feel hard fecal mass arise out of the pelvis
- when we do rectal examination we will saw large fecloma in the lumen and the anus is patulous (loose, open)
- we can do sigmidoscopy
- do imaging by “Double contrast barium enema “
that show the megarectum
-we do “ Anorectal physiology test “
(assess the function of the muscles in your anal canal to see if they are working normally, and also checks the sensitivity of the rectum to small volumes of air and its response to distension)
so the pt will have delayed first sensation
and raised maximum tolerated volume
- full thickness rectal biobsy
what the definite diagnosis of the pt with megarectum and megacolon ?
-“Double contrast barium enema “
that show the megarectum
-“ Anorectal physiology test “
pt will have delayed first sensation
and raised maximum tolerated volume
- full thickness rectal biopsy
what the treatment of the Idiopathic megarectum and megacolon ? as Hirschsprung’s disease
1-emptying the rectum by washout and manual evacuation under anesthesia
2- develop regular daily bowel habit by using osmotic laxatives or use the suppositories
3- biofeedback therapy in resistance cases
(using electronic or other instruments, and with a goal of being able to manipulate the body’s systems at will)
1- resection of the dilated rectum and colon
2-colectomy (removal of all or part of the colon) with formation of ileorectal anastomosis
3-restorative proctocolectomy استئصال
(removes the entire colon and rectum while preserving the anal sphincter )
4- vertical reduction rectoplasty is a new treatment
5- stoma formation

whats the non-megacolon constipation ?
pt will have difficulty in the defcation , abdominal pain , and distention
whatre the causes of the non-megacolon constipation ?
1- Medication :
Fe, Ca supplement , opiate ,anticholainaergic ,sympathomimtic ,anti depressent , ca blockers , anti parkinson , antipschotic , anti depressent , antihypertensive , antiarrythemic , beta antagosit , anti histamin, antacid (AL) , anti diarrial
2- Organic stenosis
by colonic cancer or any mass
or inflammmtory ,ischemic , surgical stenosis
3-Endocrine disease
hypothyrodism , hyperparathyrodism, hypopituritism , hypercalcemia , DM, renal faliure , pregnency
4- Neurological as Spinal cord injury spina bifida cerebrovascular disease Parkinson’s disease multiple sclerosis Autonomic neuropathy
5-Enteric neuropathies: chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
6-Myogenic disorders: Myotonic dystrophy, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, amyloidosis, chronic intestinal
pseudo-obstruction
Anorectal disorders: Anal fissures anal strictures
GIVE EXAMPLE ABOUT THE MEDICATION THAT CAUSE THE CONSTIPATION ?
Opiates (morphine), anticholinergic agents, Tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline), antispasmodics (dicyclomine, mebeverine, peppermint oil), Calcium channel blockers (verapamil, nifedipine), Antiparkinsonian drugs, anticonvulsants (carbamazepine), Sympathomimetics (ephedrine), antipsychotics (chloropromazine, clozapine, haloperidol, risperidone), diuretics (furosemide), antihypertensives (clonidine), antiarrhythmics (amiodarone), beta-adrenoceptor antagonists (atenolol), antihistamines, calcium or aluminium containing antacids, Calcium supplements, iron supplements, antidiarrheal (loperamide), 5-HT3-receptor
GIVE EXAMPLE ABOUT THE NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER THAT CAUSE THE CONSTIPATION ?
Neurological disorders:
Spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, cerebrovascular disease, paraplegia, multiple sclerosis,
Autonomic neuropathy, spina bifida
GIVE EXAMPLE ABOUT THE ORGAIC STENOSIS THAT CAUSE THE CONSTIPATION ?
GIVE EXAMPLE ABOUT THE NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER THAT CAUSE THE CONSTIPATION ?
GIVE EXAMPLE ABOUT THE ENTERIC DISORDER THAT CAUSE THE CONSTIPATION ?
chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
GIVE EXAMPLE ABOUT THE MYOGENIIC DISORDER THAT CAUSE THE CONSTIPATION ?
chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
GIVE EXAMPLE ABOUT THE ANORECATAL DISORDER THAT CAUSE THE CONSTIPATION ?
Anal fissures anal strictures
how to investigate the non-megacolon constipation ?
- history …
- measure the whole gut transit time
(10–73 hours) (swallow red die) - defecating protography
(an examination of the lower bowel and rectum using x-rays. It shows how your rectum functions during the emptying of your bowels.)
-abdominal transit study
if 5 marker or few still in the bowel what that means ?
on the abdominal transit study
normal colonic transit
if the ring scattered means ?
hypomobility or colonic inertia (also known as slow-transit constipation)
if most of the ring gathered ?
pt have obstruction
what the treatment of the non megacolon consitipation ?
1- dietary fibers
2- laxatives
3- biofeedback
how to dignosis of the iodopathic slow transit constipation ?
- history pt have constipation during the childhood
- by the abdominal transit study when the pt swallow 20 radio-opaque markers on 3 days
- on the 6th day we do X ray
- normally 80% of the markers pass
- after 120h (5day)or six day if retention of more than 80% is abnormal الاحتفاظ
what the benefit of the abdominal transit study ?
distinguish the slow whole transit gut from the rectal outlet delay
what the treatment of the iodopathic slow transit constipation ?
- Dietary
- Biofeedback
- Surgery
+Total colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis is the preferred procedure,
+segmental resection
+stoma creation
what the Angiodysplasia ?
- its vascular malformation of the gut. It is a common cause of otherwise unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia. Lesions are often multiple, and frequently involve the cecum or ascending colon, although they can occur at other places
- malformation is consist of dilated tortuous submucosal vein but in sever cases it happen in the mucosa
