Abstract

A survey is given of the pathophysiology of the main alterations in the small intestine of cystic fibrosis patients. Special attention is paid to the understanding of meconium ileus in the fetus and the newborn, the repercussion of duodenal acidity on the duodenal mucosa and the intraduodenal digestion, and primary and secondary biochemical alterations in the secretory-digestive-absorptive function of the small-intestinal mucosa. The meconium equivalent syndrome and its connection with the atypical course of intussusception and appendiceal perforation with silent pelvic abscess are also discussed.
