==Causes based on type of obstruction==
==Causes based on type of obstruction==
Earlier, the term [[ileus]] was used to describe temporary cessation of [[intestine|intestinal]] [[peristalsis]]. In the recent times, the term "[[ileus]]" has been modified to include temporary cessation of [[intestine|intestinal]] [[peristalsis]] in the ''absence of [[bowel obstruction|mechanical obstruction]]''. However, in order to include all the causes, we are hereby including all the causes which may lead to cessation of [[intestine|intestinal]] [[peristalsis]]. The list as below:

Overview

Common causes of ileus include surgery (major abdominal & non-abdominal surgeries), metabolic and electrolyte disturbances (such as hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia), Endocrine disorders (such as diabetes, hypoparathyroidism, hypothyroidism, and adrenal insufficiency), systemic disorders (such as myocardial infarction, pneumonia, renal failure), trauma, sepsis, and drugs (such as opiates, anticholinergic agents, autonomic blockers, tricyclic antidepressants and general anesthesia).

Causes in Alphabetical Order


Causes based on type of obstruction

Earlier, the term ileus was used to describe temporary cessation of intestinal peristalsis. In the recent times, the term "ileus" has been modified to include temporary cessation of intestinal peristalsis in the absence of mechanical obstruction. However, in order to include all the causes, we are hereby including all the causes which may lead to cessation of intestinal peristalsis. The list as below:

Mechanical Obstruction

Non-Mechanical Obstruction

Pseudo-Obstruction
