“…These will have to be investigated, since this type of problem has been reported after intestinal obstruction and luminal stasis. Interestingly, experimental megaileum in rats is asymptomatic [10] and, in humans, there is only one case report of a patient with chagasic megaileum, who was also asymptomatic [14]. These data support the idea of using intrinsic denervation therapeutically in SBS.…”

Typical megaileum occurred in young male Wistar rats three months after ileum myenteric plexus denervation. An average of 58.4% denervation of the Auerbach plexus was obtained by serosal application of benzalkonium chloride (0.2% v/v). Denervation was assessed by ganglion cell counts in an 8 nm ring-shaped histological sectfrom the midportion of the treated segment. A morphometric study showed that the increased thickness of the megaileum wall was due to muscle hypertrophy and mucosal hyperplasia. The potential usefulness of this model of megaileum is emphasized.

Chagas' disease is an infectious disease that affects millions of people in Latin America and is increasingly seen outside endemic areas. A substantial number of patients develop gastrointestinal disorders secondary to lesions of the enteric nervous system. The purpose of this article is to review the current knowledge about gastrointestinal manifestations of Chagas' disease, including disorders other than the well-known gross dilations of esophagus and colon.
