Ileus (; from Greek εἰλεός ''eileós'', "intestinal obstruction") is a disruption of the normal propulsive ability of the gastrointestinal tract. Although ''ileus'' originally referred to any lack of digestive propulsion, including any bowel obstruction,〔(thefreedictionary.com > Ileus ) Citing: *Dorland's Medical Dictionary for Health Consumers. 2007 *The American Heritage Medical Dictionary Copyright 2007 *Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 8th edition. 2009 *Saunders Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary, 3 ed. 2007〕〔(Merriam-Webster's medical dictionary. Retrieved Nov, 9, 2010 )〕 up-to-date medical usage restricts its meaning to those disruptions caused by the failure of peristalsis, rather than by mechanical obstruction. Although certain older terms such as gallstone ileus and meconium ileus persist in usage, they are now misnomers (which does not mean that they are incorrect or obsolete, but rather simply that they are known not to sound like what they really are). ==Signs and symptoms== Symptoms of ileus include, but are not limited to: * moderate, diffuse abdominal discomfort * constipation * abdominal distension * nausea/vomiting, especially after meals * vomiting of biliatic fluid or Bile * lack of bowel movement and/or flatulence * excessive belching 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ileus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
