Proximal intestinal obstruction syndrome (PIOS) in a patient with cystic fibrosis: A case report

Distal Intestinal Obstruction Syndrome Relieved by Ileoscopy in a Patient With Cystic Fibrosis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) is a common complication in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Patients typically present with right lower quadrant pain, nausea, abdominal distention, and failure to pass stool or flatus. It can be managed conservatively with medical interventions but some cases may require colonoscopy and even surgery. We report a rare instance in which a CF patient with a previous ileostomy developed DIOS and was successfully managed with ileoscopy after medical management failed.

Year in review 2020: Nutrition and gastrointestinal disease in cystic fibrosis

The multisystemic manifestations of cystic fibrosis (CF) involve all parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) system, including the pancreas, intestine, and liver. As providers who care for people with CF, knowledge of the manifestations, treatment, and research related to nutrition and GI disease are important. This review is the last installment of the CF year in review 2020 series, focusing on nutritional, GI, and hepatobiliary articles from Pediatric Pulmonology and other journals of particular interest to clinicians.
