Megacolon complicating pregnancy. A case report.

H H Sheld.   

Abstract

Megacolon is a rare complication of pregnancy. Its presence during pregnancy may require genetic counseling, anticipation of dystocia and a search for an underlying serious medical disease, the presenting symptom of which may be chronic constipation. Pharmacologic treatment is not usually successful, and the colon can best be kept clean with enemas and disimpaction.
