Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction associated with abdominal paracentesis.
BMJ Case Reports 2017 January 10
A 61-year-old man presented with accumulation of ascites secondary to alcoholic liver disease. He had an ascitic drain sited and 24 hours later he developed acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO).

We believe that this is the first report of ACPO secondary to abdominal paracentesis.
