Abstract
Gastrointestinal involvement in neurofibromatosis presenting with mechanical obstruction, hemorrhage or intussusception is known. Small bowel dysmotility and intestinal pseudo-obstruction due to neurofibromatosis is rare. A 23-year-old man with classical neurofibromatosis presented with intermittent episodes of intestinal pseudo-obstruction, small bowel bacterial overgrowth and steatorrhea. The patient had good symptomatic improvement with cisapride.
