title: [Ogilvie syndrome. Report of two cases].
abstract: Ogilvie's syndrome or intestinal acute pseudo-obstruction is a rare form of intestinal obstruction, and is characterised by a dilatation of the distal colon and often of the tenue. The etiology of this syndrome is recognized as a block of sacral parasympathetic after abdominal surgery. We report two cases of post-cesarean section Ogilvie's syndrome verified at "Ospedale S. Maria del Popolo degli Incurabili", in March 1991 and June 1993 both resolved with a new surgery, after failure of the medical and the parendoscopic decompression treatment.
