Colonic pseudo-obstruction in a 35-year-old female with known scleroderma presenting with constipation, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension. CT scan with IV/oral contrast was done.

Axial CT image (B) reveals marked diffuse dilatation of colon (*) without obvious wall thickening or abrupt transition point, suggestive for colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie syndrome)
