Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, severe, and often debilitating condition that can result in significant morbidity and mortality amongst the pediatric population. Eosinophilic myenteric ganglionitis (EMG) is a rare inflammatory neuropathy of the myenteric plexus with characteristic eosinophilic infiltration with and without hypogangliosis. The disorder has been previously documented as a cause of CIPO. We report the case of a 14-year-old male with no clear obstructive cause who, after multiple visits with a myriad of tests and workups, underwent surgical exploratory laparoscopy with the pathology returning a diagnosis of EMG with unique lymphocytic and eosinophilic cell components.
慢性肠道假性梗阻（CIPO）是一种罕见、严重且常使人衰弱的病症，可导致儿科人群出现显著的发病率和死亡率。嗜酸性肌间神经节炎（EMG）是一种罕见的肌间神经丛炎性神经病变，具有特征性的嗜酸性浸润，伴或不伴有神经节减少。该病症先前已被记录为CIPO的一个病因。我们报告了一例14岁男性病例，其无明确的梗阻原因，在多次就诊并进行了大量检查和诊断后，接受了手术探查性腹腔镜检查，病理结果显示为具有独特淋巴细胞和嗜酸性细胞成分的EMG诊断。
