[Ogilvie syndrome. 2 clinical case reports].
Acute pseudo-obstruction of the colon is an uncommon syndrome usually related to other diseases. Two patients with this syndrome are described. It is stressed that it is of paramount importance to recognize this syndrome as a high mortality is present in these patients if they are not treated in a right fashion. The treatment doesn't require surgery unless a complication, like cecum perforation, doesn't appear.
