Colonoscopy successfully relieved colonic obstruction in an elderly patient with multiple myeloma experiencing Ogilvie's syndrome. This minimally invasive procedure offered a safe and effective treatment for this rare complication.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Ogilvie's syndrome, or acute colonic pseudo-obstruction, is a rare condition characterized by dilation of the colon without mechanical obstruction.
  • It can occur in elderly patients and those with underlying conditions such as multiple myeloma.
  • Colonic obstruction poses a significant risk, particularly in vulnerable patient populations.
