| Popis: | Ogilvies syndrome (OS) is a rare condition in obstetrics but occurs most commonly after caesarean section. Mortality rates from OS can be as high as 36-50% when bowel perforation or ischemia develops which highlights the early recognition of this condition. Early diagnosis is therefore essential to prevent serious morbidity and mortality.We, therefore report a case of OS after caesarean section in which early detection by senior clinicians resulted in successful management of the condition and an excellent outcome. |
