چکیده
Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO), also referred to as Ogilvie’s syndrome,1 is a clinical condition with symptoms, signs and radiographic appearance of acute large bowel obstruction without a mechanical cause. ACPO occurs most often in hospitalized or institutionalized patients with serious underlying medical and surgical conditions. ACPO is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The mortality rate is estimated at 40% when ischemia or perforation occurs.2 Early detection and prompt appropriate management are critical to minimizing morbidity and mortality.
