Short bowel syndrome

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.
Short bowel syndrome
A condition in which the bowel is not as long as normal, either because of surgery or because of a congenital defect. Because the bowel has less surface area to absorb nutrients, it can result in malabsorption syndrome.
