Abstract:
Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie syndrome) is characterized by a marked dilation of the colon in the absence of mechanical obstruction. This rare syndrome can occur in at-risk patients after trauma and in the preoperative period. We report on the case of a patient who presented with acute colonic pseudo-obstruction after a hip fracture, who was treated conservatively for her Ogilvie syndrome and then operated on for the fracture. This report highlights the perioperative challenges related to this condition and the importance of a timely diagnosis and management.
