Abstract
Acquired microcolon results from a lack of distension by the fecal stream because of a proximal obstruction or diversion. We report a case of acquired microileum, which we believe resulted from a similar mechanism, that is, lack of distension by the intestinal fluid column after a proximal ileal diversion.
