Sumario:Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder with symptoms of ileus. CIPO can either be idiopathic or secondary to other diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is involved in many parts of the gastrointestinal system with variable clinical presentations. Reports about reduplicated CIPO as a complication of SLE is infrequent. A 49-year-old female suffering from clinical symptoms of ileus has been hospitalized 3 times over 1 year. Her examination results showed no observation of mechanical obstruction. In August 2017, she came to the nephrology department due to edema in both lower limbs along with symptoms of ileus. After thorough examination, she was diagnosed with secondary CIPO related to SLE. Results of renal biopsy confirmed to be lupus nephritis (Class III-(A) + V). The symptoms of ileus are gradually improved after treatment of full-dose intravenous corticosteroid for 5 days.
