“…However, it might be related to increased incidence of Ogilvie syndrome and bowel distension after spinal cord injury. It is considered that trauma, spinal anesthesia, or pharmacologic agents cause an impairment of the autonomic nervous system and interruption of the visceral parasympathetic fibers leaves an atonic distal colon and a functional proximal obstruction [9] . Nwanguma reported a case of a trauma patient who presented with Ogilvie’s syndrome that evolved into a cecal bascule while being treated with neostigmine [10] .…”

IntroductionCecal bascule is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction associated with upward and anterior folding of the ascending colon. We report three patients who presented with spinal cord injury complicated with a cecal bascule. Diagnosis and management of cecal bascule is discussed.Presentation of casesPatient 1: 59-year-old male sustained a traumatic brain injury and cervical spinal cord injury after a motorcycle crash. He had abdominal distension and the diagnosis of cecal bascule was made. Cecopexy was performed.Patient 2: 51-year-old male sustained an unstable C7 vertebral fracture with a cord contusion and quadriplegia after a diving incident. After an unsuccessful medical management of the colonic distension, the patient was taken for a laparotomy and cecal bascule was found. A cecostomy and a cecopexy were performed.Patient 3: 63-year-old male was transferred after a fall. He had diffuse degenerative changes in the thoracic and lumbar spine. He was found to have a perforated cecal bascule. He had a right hemicolectomy with an ileocolic anastomosis.DiscussionWe suggest the possibility of spinal cord injury being a risk factor for cecal bascule. Currently, right hemicolectomy is recommended for the treatment of cecal bascule. Cecopexy is also acceptable treatment option for a case in which the patient will be undergoing an operation with an insertion of hardware.ConclusionThe diagnosis of cecal bascule should be considered for trauma patients with cecal distention without delay in order to prevent disastrous complications.

“…It may be primary (familial and nonfamilial) or secondary to the other diseases (scleroderma, systemic lupus, stroke, and encephalitis) [4, 5]. Pseudo-obstruction of colon can be acute type Ogilvie syndrome [6] or chronic but patients with VM often present with symptoms of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Ogilvie syndrome is dilation of the cecum and right colon without nonmechanical obstruction and it occurs in patients with critical illnesses, electrolyte imbalances, anticholinergic medication regimens, and recent surgery but its the relation with VM is not reported yet.…”

Background. Visceral myopathy is rare pathological condition of gastrointestinal tract with uncertain clinical presentation and unknown etiology. It often presents with symptoms of chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction of colon. We report a case of visceral myopathy which presented to us as acute appendicitis and Ogilvie syndrome, and we managed it surgically. Method and Result. A case report of 20-year female clinically presented as acute appendicitis and we performed laparoscopic exploration which revealed inflamed appendix with grossly dilated ascending colon. We performed laparoscopic appendectomy and postoperatively managed the patients with IV fluids, antibiotics, neostigmine, and extended length rectal tube for enema and decompression. During postoperative period, she developed abdomen distension and peritonitis, and we ordered abdomen CT which revealed colon pseudo- obstruction. We performed right hemicolectomy with permanent ileostomy, and the histopathology reports of resected colon were visceral myopathy. Conclusion. Visceral myopathy is very rare group of disease and poorly understood condition that may present with chronic or acute intestinal pseudo-obstruction and often mimic other more common gastrointestinal disease. VM should be considered as differential diagnosis whenever the patient presents with acute appendicitis, uncharacteristic abdominal symptoms, recurrent attacks of abdominal distention, and pain with no radiological evidence of intestinal obstruction.

“…Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie syndrome) is a result of colon dilation without an anatomic or mechanical obstruction. Opioid-induced pseudo-obstruction results from impairment of the parasympathetic response, resulting in an atonic distal colon and functional proximal obstruction [18, 26]. Upright abdominal radiographs demonstrate a dilated colon, often from the cecum to the splenic flexure, with normal haustral markings (Fig.…”

Systemic Complications and Radiographic Findings of Opioid Use and Misuse: An Overview for Orthopedic Surgeons

et al. 2019

Amid growing concern about the misuse of prescribed opioids, the rising rates of opioid use disorder, and the use of illicit opioids, clinicians in ambulatory, inpatient, and operative environments are encountering opioid-related complications in their patients. These complications can affect multiple organ systems including cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and neurologic and are related to excess opioid levels in the body or contamination from non-sterile injection. It is important for the orthopedic surgeon to have a general understanding of the pathologies associated with opioid use disorder and their appearance on diagnostic imaging. This article reviews image findings of several complications, organized in a systems-based approach, for the orthopedic surgeon.
