Two patients with intestinal obstruction in pregnancy are presented and discussed. In neither case was there any obvious cause for the intestianl obstruction. Pseudo-obstruction of the bowel has not previously been described as a complication of pregnancy.
Disopyramide (200 mg 8-hourly) was given to a pregnant patient from the 26th week onwards for the treatment of bigeminy and paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia. Labour was spontaneous and normal. Although disopyramide was demonstrated in the foetal blood there was no evidence of congenital abnormality or growth retardation. The drug treated the mother satisfactorily with no apparent ill effects to the child.
