blind loop syndrome
blind loop syndrome (stagnant loop syndrome) (blynd) n. a condition of stasis of the small intestine allowing the overgrowth of bacteria, which causes malabsorption and the passage of fatty stools (see steatorrhoea). It is usually the result of chronic obstruction, surgical bypass operations producing a stagnant length of bowel, or conditions in which a segment of intestine is out of continuity with the rest.
