From twenty six personal cases, the authors make a review of the literature. 92% of their cases are met in a post operative (28%), neurological (28%), general (24%) context, or in intensive care with assisted ventilation (36%). The major symptom is the meteorism (100%) with in one out of three cases, abdominal pain, vomiting, right iliac defense, absence of bowel sounds. Radiological distension involves mostly the right colon and the coecum (28%), right and transverse colon (40), sometimes the whole colon (32%). The mean diameter of the coecum reached 12 cm (9 to 25 cm). Early coloscopy was mandatory in 20 patients, of which 14 were cured, 13 patients were operated on, for suspicion of ischemia or perforation, because incertain diagnosis, or failure of colonoscopy. Ceocostomy or right hemicolectomy (55%) were performed rather than transverse colostomy. The surgical approach must be adapted to the anatomical lesions. Total mortality was 4% in this series. Early diagnosis of pseudo obstruction, early colonoscopy with intubation must allow to avoid surgery.
