title: [Favorable response to cisapride in acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie's syndrome)].
abstract: Acute pseudobstruction of the colon (Ogilvie's syndrome) has been treated by different surgical, endoscopic and radiological procedures, but a high proportion of recurrences has been reported. Here, we report two cases that showed a fast and favorable response to oral cisapride, a prokinetic agent that may become the treatment of choice for these patients.
