ABSTRACT
Ogilvie syndrome (OS) or acute pseudo-obstruction of the colon is characterized by a massive and acute dilation of the
colon, especially on the right side. It is a rare entity, predominantly affects the male gender, and occurs in hospitalized
patients with some serious medical or surgical condition. In its pathophysiology, an imbalance in the autonomic
nervous system is suspected, although it is still not entirely clear.
It presents with moderate to severe abdominal distension, colic pain in the hypogastrium and constipation. Sepsis,
necrosis or intestinal perforation should be suspected if fever develops.
The diagnosis is suggested by the clinical presentation and is confirmed by abdominal radiographs which can show
different degrees of colonic dilatation, mainly in the right colon. The presence of pneumoperitoneum confirms the
presence of an intestinal perforation. Computed tomography is a more detailed imaging resource for diagnosis.
A cecal diameter of ‹12 cm allows a conservative treatment, however if it is› 12 cm it indicates that a surgical
intervention must be performed due to the imminent risk of perforation.
Among the therapeutic options are the use of neostigmine, erythromycin, cisapride, colonoscopy with decompression,
cecostomy and surgery.
