FAMILIAL VISCERAL MYOPATHY
Alternate names
FAMILIAL VISCERAL MYOPATHY Is also known as familial hollow visceral myopathy, megaduodenum and/or megacystis, hereditary hollow visceral myopathy
Description
Familial visceral myopathy is a rare hereditary myopathic degeneration of both gastrointestinal and urinary tracts that causes chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. It usually presents after the first decade of life with megaduodenum, megacystis and symptoms such as abdominal distension and/or pain, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, dysphagia, and/or urinary tract infections.n.
Most common symptoms of FAMILIAL VISCERAL MYOPATHY
- Microcephaly
- Micrognathia
- Cleft palate
- Anteverted nares
- Abnormality of cardiovascular system morphology

MEGACYSTIS-MICROCOLON-INTESTINAL HYPOPERISTALSIS SYNDROME
Alternate names
MEGACYSTIS-MICROCOLON-INTESTINAL HYPOPERISTALSIS SYNDROME Is also known as mmihs, megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis-hydronephrosis syndrome, berdon syndrome
Description
Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is a rare congenital disease characterized by massive abdominal distension caused by a largely dilated non-obstructed urinary bladder (megacystis), microcolon and decreased or absent intestinal peristalsis.
Most common symptoms of MEGACYSTIS-MICROCOLON-INTESTINAL HYPOPERISTALSIS SYNDROME
- Cryptorchidism
- Abnormality of cardiovascular system morphology
- Polyhydramnios
- Umbilical hernia
- Nausea and vomiting

VISCERAL MYOPATHY; VSCM
Alternate names
VISCERAL MYOPATHY; VSCM Is also known as megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome, infantile visceral myopathy, mmih, megaduodenum and/or megacystis, pseudoobstruction, idiopathic intestinal, berdon syndrome
Description
Familial visceral myopathy is a rare inherited form of myopathic pseudoobstruction, characterized by impaired function of enteric smooth muscle cells resulting in abnormal intestinal mobility, severe abdominal pain, malnutrition, and even death (Lehtonen et al., 2012). Visceral myopathy represents a phenotypic spectrum of disease characterized by inter- and intrafamilial variability, in which the most severely affected patients exhibit prenatal bladder enlargement, intestinal malrotation, neonatal functional gastrointestinal obstruction, and chronic dependence on total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and urinary catheterization (summary by Wangler et al., 2014).Another form of visceral myopathy with functional gastrointestinal obstruction is associated with external ophthalmoplegia (OMIM ).Functional gastrointestinal obstruction also occurs in association with other abnormalities, such as 'prune belly' syndrome (OMIM ) and Barrett esophagus (Mungan syndrome; {611376}). Chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction can also be neuropathic in origin (see {609629}).
Most common symptoms of VISCERAL MYOPATHY; VSCM
- Microcephaly
- Failure to thrive
- Micrognathia
- Cleft palate
- Pain
