Abstract
A 52-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of severe abdominal distention. But she had no abdominal pain and nausea. Abdominal roentgenogram showed marked dilatation of the colon. Barium enema and colonofiberscopy revealed no other organic obstruction. The patient was diagnosed as Ogilvie's syndrome. Decompression of the colon distention using colonofiberscope was not successful. An ileus tube was colonoscopically placed in the sigmoid colon and continuous decompression was very successful. Ogilvie's syndrome is usually resolved with decompression treatment using a colonoscope or suction tube. Intitial attempt of conservative treatment is very important.
