Meaning of "ileus" in English

"Ileus" refers to a medical condition characterized by a lack of movement in the intestines leading to a blockage. It can occur in both small and large intestines, resulting in an obstruction of the passage of contents through the gastrointestinal tract. This condition can cause symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Ileus usually arises after surgery as a temporary condition but can also result from infections, inflammation, or diseases affecting the intestines.

Meaning of "iléus paralytique" in French

"Iléus paralytique" describes a specific type of intestinal obstruction where there is no physical blockage, but instead a paralysis of the intestinal muscles. This condition prevents the normal contractions known as peristalsis from occurring, which are necessary for moving contents through the intestines. It’s often seen following surgeries, particularly involving the abdominal or pelvic regions, or it can occur due to certain medications, neurological disorders, or infections.
