Hi,

The patient is hospitalized for GI bleeds.
He has acute myeloblastic leukemia and myelodysplasia.
He suffered from an episode of lower back pain

Denise Pavao Jun 8, 2018:
I was looking at your context again - it seems they're questioning whether the "débâcle digestive" is responsible for the lumbar pain. Could vomiting and diarrhea (as Dr Manu suggested) cause back pain? I think that's possible. Or is there some fecal compaction that is causing the pain? (Although débâcle in that case seems to suggest the blockage was already explulsed...) Maybe residual lumbar pain? Just some thoughts...
Drmanu49 Jun 7, 2018:
Tha<t is only part of the causes IMO.

Hi, Thank you all for your research. I think I found the meaning in this context of lower back pain: "gastroentérites et colites d'origine infectieuse" https://www.aideaucodage.fr/cim-a090. Any thoughts?

Joanna, is there any indication that the patient had been constipated? I found this:
La fausse diarrhée
Selles liquides ou semi-liquides éliminées massivement après expulsion spontanée d’un bouchon, provoquant une véritable « débâcle intestinale ». https://lucperino.com/529/constipation.html
and this:
Les selles dures sont généralement accompagnées de constipation. Toutefois, lorsqu'elles sont émises au milieu ou à la suite d'une débâcle intestinale , il s'agit d'une fausse diarrhée. http://www.docteurclic.com/symptome/selles-anormales.aspx

Note from asker:
Hi Denise, thanks for the research! Unfortunately we have no information about constipation. The only thing we know about his stools is that he has repeated episodes of melena.
