Ogilvie's syndrome is caused from functional obstruction of the colon without mechanical stenosis and also termed as pseudo-obstruction of the colon. This disease is seen in patient who has other causative distress. The pathogenesis of this rare entity is unknown but it is suspected that there may be an underlying autonomic disturbance which causes non-mechanical obstruction of the colon. Most of the case reports on Ogilvie's syndrome have appeared in European and North American journals but are extremely rare in Japan. Some cases which have been categorized "spastic ileus" may be included in this syndrome. We recently experienced a patient with cerebral infarction who developed non-mechanical obstruction of the colon. This patient was treated successfully with an exploratory laparotomy and sigmoidostomy. It is considered that early diagnosis is an essential part of the initial management of this syndrome. Conservative treatment is indicated for most of the patients but a definitive surgical therapy is occasionally necessary.
