Recurrence of Ogilvie’s Syndrome, a Rare Postoperative Complication in Second Caesarean Section
Journal Title: Journal of Syndromes - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Acute colonic pseudo obstruction (ACPO), also known as Ogilvie’s syndrome is a very rare postoperative complication of Caesarean section. It has classically been reported in critically ill patients and following cardiac and hip surgery. Whether this complication recurs in subsequent operations is not known. Only one case report of recurrence following caesarean section was found in literature survey. We report a case of Ogilvie’s syndrome which recurred in the second Caesarean section and was successfully managed conservatively.
