Tóm tắt

Ogilvie's syndrome is characterized by acute dilatation of the colon without any anatomic obstruction. It presents with signs and symptoms of small or large bowel obstruction. The management could be challenging, especially in critically and chronically ill patients. We present a case of a 65-year-old male patient who developed extensive colonic ileus following prolonged hospitalization. We discuss different management strategies that we adopted.
