In a 27-year-old woman a spontaneous perforation of the bowel developed after cesarean section. The clinical picture, pathophysiological aspects and prophylactic treatment of Ogilvie's syndrome are discussed. This rare but serious complication could have been avoided if the clinical picture and its simple conservative treatment had been known.
