title: [Colonic pseudo-obstruction caused by digestive amyloidosis in a chronic hemodialyzed patient. Apropos of a case].
abstract: A case of intestinal pseudo-obstruction by amyloidosis, occurring after 20 years of dialysis in a 72-year-old woman is reported. Although acute intestinal complications of intestinal amyloidosis, such as ischemia, colonic obstruction or haemorrhage are well known, colonic pseudo-obstruction is more unusual. It gradually results in, it carries out an intestinal obstruction with colonic and gastric distension. The diffuse topography of amyloid deposits throughout the gastrointestinal tract carries a poor prognosis and surgery cannot be curative.
