Case in brief

A 35-year-old woman developed Ogilvie syndrome postoperatively after a caesarean section. She presented with severe ileus, abdominal pain, and fever. Early interdisciplinary collaboration led to prompt diagnosis and management, including conservative treatment and surgical decompression. The condition was successfully resolved within 24 hours, preventing severe complications, and the patient was discharged in stable condition.
