Ogilvie Syndrome

Ogilvie syndrome is defined as colonic pseudo-obstruction due to nonmechanical causes. Mortality of nearly 50% is associated with perforation of the distended, pseudo-obstructed colon. While conservative medical therapy has proven to be beneficial in a majority of cases, >3% of patients have significant distention or perforation of the colon that warrants surgical resection. The case of a 48-year-old male with progressive abdominal discomfort and distention 12 days following knee replacement surgery is presented. He was subsequently diagnosed with colonic pseudo-obstruction and definitively treated with subtotal colectomy and colostomy. We propose that a more conservative approach to treatment of colonic pseudo-obstruction may prevent the need for colostomy, significantly improving quality of life.

End Stage

We present a case of an 83-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease and hyperphosphatemia treated with sevelamer carbonate, who underwent subtotal colectomy for diffuse bowel necrosis and two perforations in the transverse colon. Histologic examination revealed ischemic colitis with crystals consistent with sevelamer carbonate embedded in ulcer debris and within the colonic wall in areas of transmural necrosis. This is a novel cause of drug-induced ischemic colitis with subsequent perforation that has not yet been reported in the literature. Clinicians and pathologists should be aware of the potential complications of sevelamer use and the histologic features of sevelamer-induced colonic injury.
