Colonoscopic Decompression

Colonic pseudo-obscruction, or Ogilvie's syndrome, is characterized by marked distension of the large intestine in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Etiology is unknown. Left untreated, it may lead to perforation with a mortality of 46%. Reversible causes such as electrolyte imbalance, anricholinergic drugs, analgesics, steroids or hypothyro1d1sm should he excluded. Early recognition of pseudo-obstruction with institution of supportive means followed by colonoscopic decompression with rube placement should be successful in all cases.

✓ Three patients who developed Ogilvie's syndrome following lumbar spinal surgery are described. Ogilvie's syndrome, also known as pseudo-obstruction of the colon, is characterized by massive cecal distention without mechanical obstruction. If this condition is not recognized and not promptly treated, it may be complicated by cecal perforation, a life-threatening hazard. The etiology, diagnosis, management, and potential relationship between lumbar spinal surgery and Ogilvie's syndrome are discussed.

Ogilvie’S Syndrome

Ogilvie’s syndrome or acute colonic pseudo-obstruction is a rare and acquired disorder characterized by significant dilatation of the colon. The condition is mainly seen in hospitalized patients with medical or surgical problems. We report the case of a middle aged healthy lady who presented with Ogilvie’s syndrome with associated electrolyte imbalance in the form of hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. Ogilvie’s syndrome itself is a rare condition, and to the best of our knowledge has not been reported among healthy individuals yet.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(1) 2017 100-103

Spinal Deformity Surgery

Ogilvie's syndrome is a rare and potentially fatal disease that can easily be mistaken for postoperative ileus. Also known as acute colonic pseudo-obstruction, early recognition and diagnosis of the syndrome allows for treatment prior to bowel perforation and requisite abdominal surgery. The authors report a case of Ogilvie's syndrome following spinal deformity correction and tethered cord release in an adolescent who presented with acute abdominal distension, nausea, and vomiting on postoperative Day 0. The patient was initially diagnosed with adynamic ileus and treated conservatively with bowel rest, reduction in narcotic dosage, and a regimen of stool softeners, laxatives, and enemas. Despite this treatment, her clinical course failed to improve, and she demonstrated significant colonic distension radiographically. Intravenous neostigmine was administered as a bolus with a rapid and dramatic response. This case is the first reported instance of neostigmine use for Ogilvie's syndrome treatment following a pediatric neurosurgical operation.

Colonoscopic Decompression

Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie’s syndrome) is a rare disorder associated with spontaneous colonic dilatation with signs and symptoms of mechanical bowel obstruction and dilatation on imaging. We report a 37 year-old female, with three-month history of Caesarian Section at 38th week of pregnancy due to fetal malpresentation. Abdominal CT-scan revealed chronic diffuse colonic distention, 17 cm in diameter. No cause of obstruction could be determined. A diagnosis of Ogilvie’s syndrome was made. The increased size of the colon with leukocytosis warranted urgent colonoscopic decompression. The patient recovered well. If not managed appropriately, Ogilvie’s syndrome can progress to bowel ischemia and perforation with significant morbidity and mortality. The first line of treatment of early disease is conservative management with neostigmine or colonoscopic decompression. Our purpose is to review the diagnosis and management of this potentially lethal rare condition.
