Surprisingly, we found hyperactive small bowel motility in half of the CIPO patients, suggestive of uncoordinated motility. A wide variation in motility patterns was observed, both higher, lower, and comparable contractility compared with healthy subjects. No clear postprandial activation was seen in patients. Cine-MRI helps to gain insight in this complex disease and can potentially impact treatment decisions in the future.
