_Causes of enteralgia and spasmodic colic._ Enteralgia may be defined as
a neuralgic pain of the bowel which may therefore be free from spasm or
any other appreciable structural or functional change. Its existence in
the lower animal is necessarily somewhat problematical, as it can only
be inferred from the analogy of the animal with man, and of the enteron
with the superficial parts that are more frequently attacked with
neuralgia, and also from the absence of visible spasmodic contractions
in the bowel which has been the seat of intense pain, yet shows no
inflammatory lesion. But whether this is accepted or not, the occurrence
of spasm is undeniable and as both are functional nervous disorders the
same causative factors will apply to both.
