Abstract

Ogilvie's syndrome is a clinical condition that mimics all feature of large bowel obstruction, but with no mechanical cause. If untreated, the condition has a high mortality rate due to rupture and ischaemic perforation of the bowel. We present a case of Ogilvie's post-caesarean section and emphasis the correct management.
