Abstract
Ogilvie syndrome (colonic pseudoobstruction); it is an acute and excessive dilatation of the colon with clinical and radiological colon obstruction, although there is no mechanical obstruction in the colon. In this syndrome, severe nausea-vomiting, abdominal pain and abdominal distension are seen as clinical findings. Although its etiology is not known exactly, it is assumed to occur due to autonomic nervous system dysfunction. This syndrome, which is seen especially after major trauma or operations, can cause an increase in morbidity and mortality; early diagnosis and treatment is very important in order to prevent important complications such as perforation and ischemia. In this case report, we aimed to present 2 patients who developed Ogilvie syndrome after postoperative neurosurgical surgery.
