    Author: Schreiner B.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1988 May 14; 118(19):726-8. PubMed ID: 3387969.
    Abstract:
    Acute pseudoobstruction of the colon (Ogilvie syndrome) is a rare entity observed postoperatively or in association with various medical conditions. Appropriate therapy avoids the life-threatening complication of cecal perforation with its attendant high mortality rate of over 40%. Today colonoscopic decompression is the treatment of choice.
