RESUMEN
El síndrome de Ogilvie consiste en una seudobstrucción aguda del colon sin causa orgánica que lo justifique. Su etiología es desconocida, pero se ha asociado a trastornos neurológicos, cirugías, insuficiencia cardíaca, infecciones, enfermedades hidroelectrolíticas y uso de algunos fármacos como benzodiacepinas o antidepresivos tricíclicos. Se presenta el caso de un hombre de 62 años con dolor abdominal, estreñimiento, náuseas, abdomen timpánico y distendido. Se le hace examen físico, radiografía y un enema opaco, y se le diagnostica síndrome de Ogilvie. Se empieza empleando un tratamiento conservador mediante ayuno, suero intravenoso y sonda rectal. Y al no producirse mejoría, se usa la neostigmina, a la cual responde satisfactoriamente. En Atención Primaria resulta fundamental un diagnóstico precoz mediante una adecuada recogida de antecedentes y una exploración física, conducida a detectar sus signos clínicos y factores de riesgo.(AU)
ABSTRACT
Ogilvie syndrome consists of an acute pseudo-obstruction of the colon without a justifying organic cause. Its aetiology is unknown. However, it has been associated with neurological disorders, surgery, heart failure, infections, hydroelectrolytic disorders and use of some drugs such as benzodiazepines or tricyclic antidepressants. We report the case of a 62-year-old man with abdominal pain, constipation, nausea and distended and tympanic abdomen. We performed a physical examination, x-ray and opaque enema, whereby Ogilvie syndrome was diagnosed. Conservative treatment was begun with fasting, intravenous serum and rectal tube. Given the absence of improvement, it was necessary to use neostigmine, to which the patient responded satisfactorily. In primary care early diagnosis is essential by means of appropriate taking of history and physical examination performed to detect its clinical signs and risk factors.(AU)
