Overview
Common causes of ileus include surgery (major abdominal & non-abdominal surgeries), metabolic and electrolyte disturbances (such as hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia), endocrinological 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
Common Causes
The common causes of ileus include:
- Any abdominal surgery
- Acute pancreatitis
- Hypokalemia
- Mechanical ventilation
- Morphine
- Pancreatitis
- Peritonitis
- Retroperitoneal hematoma
- Mesenteric infarction
- Uremia
- Urosepsis
- Trauma
Causes by Organ System
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
- Adenomatous polyps
- Adhesions
- Adhesive bands
- Annular pancreas
- Ascariades
- Atresia
- Biliary calculus
- Bowel duplication
- Carcinomatosis

- Crohn's Disease
- Cysts
- Diverticular stricture
- Diverticulitis
- Endometriosis
- Foreign body
- Gallstone ileus
- Hematoma of the bowel wall
- Hernia
- Hirschprung's disease
- Iatrogenic
- Imperforate anus
- Incarcerated hernia
