Paralysis of the intestine. To be t ermed "paralytic
ileus," the intestinal paralysis need not be complete, but it must be sufficient
to prohibit the passage of food through the intestine and lead to intestinal blockage.
Paralytic ileus is a common aftermath of some types of surgery. It can also result
from certain drugs and from various injuries and illnesses. Paralytic ileus causes
constipation and bloating. On listening to the abdomen with a stethoscope, no bowel
sounds are heard because the bowel is inactive. Also simply called ileus.
