	<span style=\"color:black;font-family:Verdana;\">Ogilvie¡¯s syndrome is an acute dilatation of a part or all of the
colon and rectum without mechanical obstruction. The diagnosis is based on
computed tomography (CT) that exclude</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">s</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> organic or functional
colonic obstruction and&nbsp;ensures the detection of signs of severity. Rapid
diagnosis leads to conservative measures and the resolution of obstruction.
Delays in diagnosis can lead to complications imposing a surgical treatment and
increased mortality rate. We report the case of a 52 years old woman </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">with</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Parkinson¡¯s disease, who
presented Ogilvie¡¯s syndrome. The initial assessment did not show signs of
severity, so medical treatment was introduced but without improvement</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">;</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> for this reason, the
surgical procedure was indicated as a cecostomy. There are several theories
that explain the pathophysiology of Ogilvie¡¯s syndrome; the most likely is the
dysfunction of innervation of the colon which is due to Parkinson¡¯s disease in
our case. The diagnosis is based on computed tomography. The treatment is
pharmacologic, conservative or surgical depending on the severity of the
disease and its evolution.</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"></span>
