Popis: A 74-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of constipation and marked abdominal distension. She had become to be bedridden after cerebral infarction 10 years previously, and was tabescent due to vomiting. A left hemicolectomy and colostomy were performed because conservative therapy seemed to be ineffective. The postoperative course was good and her nutritional status improved.
