Resumo(s)
Ogilvie´s syndrome is a colonic dilation without any existing mechanical obstruction. The risk factors that cause it are not completely understood, but if untreated, the distension can result in rupture or ischaemic bowel perforation. Additionally, the existing guidelines do not agree with each other about the next steps if conservative treatment fails. We report the case of a 71-year-old woman in whom Ogilvie´s syndrome was particularly difficult to manage, and with it, we try to add clinical data to a field with scarce evidence.
