Abdominal compartment syndrome secondary to myxedema ileus
Open accessAbstract
Acute pseudo-obstruction of the colon is known as Ogilvie syndrome (OS). There are varied causes of OS. Myxedema ileus (MI) as a cause of acute pseudo-obstruction is rare. Surgery in cases of MI is reserved only in cases of cecal distension of >12 cm, bowel ischemia, and perforated bowel. We present a rare case of a 71-year-old female who was operated for abdominal compartment syndrome secondary to MI.

Hypothyroidism has also been linked with reduced stool frequency, ischemia, paralytic ileus, vascular malformations, megacolon, volvulus, and pseudoobstruction.
“Hypothyroidism has also been linked with reduced stool frequency, ischemia, paralytic ileus, vascular malformations, megacolon, volvulus, and pseudoobstruction (Thakur et al., 2020).”
From Thyroid disorders and gastrointestinal dysmotility: an old association (2024) · cites this paper as Thakur et al., 2020
The Discussion (page not provided) links myxedema ileus due to hypothyroidism with decreased bowel movement frequency, paralytic ileus, pseudo-obstruction, acute megacolon, and pseudo-volvulus. It also mentions intestinal ischemia as a proposed contributor to reduced gut activity. It does not mention vascular malformations, and pseudo-volvulus does not establish a link with true volvulus.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
