Abstract
The so-called Ogilvie''s syndrome [colonic ileus with no distal obstruction] seems not to be a genuine clinical condition. It appears to be associated with generalized disease(s) or systemic derangement in nearly all cases. The 5 patients whose cases are reported were all admitted to 1 hospital within a few months of each other. The condition, though uncommon, is by no means a rarity and warrants attention.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
