title: [Functional secondary megaduodenum].
abstract: This paper aim is to present the case of a 72 year old male, diagnosed with functional secondary megaduodenum. We intend to discuss the pathogenic and positive diagnostic difficulties (the presence or absence of a mechanical obstructive factor or the participated of the megaduodenum in an intestinal pseudo-obstruction syndrome). Also we outline the rare frequency of this disease and especially the therapeutic difficulties: inefficiency of conservatory treatment, delicate problems of surgical tactics and technique.
