Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Ogilvie's syndrome is an uncommon disorder of acute colonic pseudoobstruction that is often associated with concomitant medical disease or psychiatric medication. Therapeutic interventions include cholinesterase inhibitors, colonic decompression, and, in severe cases, surgery. We report a case of functional obstruction that was resolved after spinal anesthesia. The effect of spinal anesthesia on the autonomic control of colonic motility is discussed, and the literature on neuraxial blockade and Ogilvie's syndrome is reviewed.
