Resumo(s)
We present the clinical case of an 11-year-old boy with
cerebral palsy. He was observed in the Gastroenterology
Department for the presence of recurrent episodes of vomiting
(bilious and/or fecaloides) with one year of development, preceded
by pallor, sweating, sense of abdominal pain and abdominal
swelling. Recently the episodes occur every week. The abdominal
Computed Tomography (CT) showed megacolon compatible
with the diagnosis of ileocolic intestinal pseudo-obstruction.
Laparoscopic cecostomy was performed for decompression of
exuberant aerocolia, result of permanent aerophagia typical of
adolescents with cerebral palsy, allowing the administration of
antegrade enemas in order to improve the constipation.
