✓ 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.

ABSTRACT:Background:In this study we report a rare complication after lumbar surgery, Ogilvie's syndrome, that presents as acute colonic dilatation in the absence of mechanical obstruction.Case:A 43-year-old obese woman underwent lumbar surgery for L4-L5 lumbar disc herniation. The patient complained of persistent abdominal distention and lack of bowel sounds. Plain radiography and ultrasonography revealed massive dilatation of the colon. Nasogastric aspiration was initiated and all analgesic drugs were withdrawn. Abdominal distention gradually disappeared within three days.Conclusions:Only three cases of Ogilvie's syndrome following lumbar spinal surgery have been reported in the literature. In our case obesity, chronic constipation, and narcotic drugs were the most likely precipitating causes. Ogilvie's syndrome may resolve with conservative treatment, but if the cecal diameter continues to increase, colonoscopy or laparotomy may be needed to prevent perforation of colon.
