title: [The Ogilvie syndrome].
abstract: The authors observed 3 patients with the Ogilvie syndrome. The Ogilvie syndrome is a peculiar form of acute intestinal obstruction characterized by acute dilatation of the colon without obstruction of its distal portions and often developing against the background of other grave diseases. For a timely diagnosed pathology the conservative treatment including a colonoscopic decompression of the colon and epidural anesthesia++ proved to be effective. In cases of ineffective conservative measures a cecostomy was put, resection of the injured portion was used for necrosis and perforation of the over-stretched++ gut.
