Abstract
Acquired microcolon results from a lack of distension by the fecal str
eam because of a proximal obstruction or diversion. We report a case o
f acquired microileum, which we believe resulted from a similar mechan
ism, that is, lack of distension by the intestinal fluid column after
a proximal ileal diversion.
