[Ogilvie's syndrome: how rare?].
Personal experience of a fairly rare disease is reported and it is stressed that the decisive factor in opting for surgery is the diameter of the colon, particularly the cecum, on the basis of direct X-ray of the abdomen. It is considered that cecostomy is not only the simplest operation but is also the one that offers the best possibilities of success.
