[Acute recurrent colonic pseudo-obstruction. Report of a case occurring during and following pregnancy and treated by total colectomy].
The authors report a case of multi-recurrent Ogilvie's syndrome during pregnancy, the post-partum period and a long time after deliver. Electromyographic and manometric studies excluded colonic inertia and disseminated gastrointestinal involvement. Total colectomy was performed after the 6th recurrence, resulting in complete cure of the patient.
