Ogilvie syndrome with caecal perforation following cesarean section: a rare case report from Jordan
OS is a rare condition in women, often seen after childbirth or pelvic surgery, with an unclear cause but believed to be related to autonomic nervous system imbalance. Patients with abdominal pain and distension, without evidence of obstruction, should be evaluated for pseudo-obstruction using abdominal pelvic CT, and treatment may involve conservative measures, medication, and colonoscopic decompression.
