Abstract
The syndrome of acute colonic pseudo-obstruction is well delineated but its aetiology remains poorly understood and patients are still treated inappropriately. This article reviews the pathogenesis and surgical management of this condition. Early diagnosis is stressed as a pivotal factor in reducing morbidity and mortality.Entities:
