Ileus (paralytic ileus, adynamic ileus) is temporary absence of the normal contractile movements of the intestinal wall. Abdominal surgery and drugs that interfere with the intestineâs movements are a common cause. Bloating, vomiting, constipation, cramps, and loss of appetite occur. The diagnosis is made by x-ray. People are given nothing to eat or drink, and a thin suction tube is passed through the nose into the stomach. Like an obstruction (blockage) of the intestines, ileus prevents the passage of intestinal contents. Unlike a mechanical obstruction, though, ileus rarely leads to rupture. Ileus commonly occurs for 24 to 72 hours after abdominal surgery, particularly when the intestines have been manipulated.
