An abdominal CT scan was performed, showing colonic dilatation compatible with Ogilvie syndrome. Decompressive colonoscopy was performed after a nasogastric and rectal tube with sodium phosphate enemas did not produce any response. The course was unfavourable and constipation persisted despite enemas. On the second day of hospitalisation, the patient had CPA, resuscitated satisfactorily, requiring haemodynamic stabilisation in the ICU. A pre-CPA blood test showed: urea 45 (18–37.7) mg/dl; creatinine 1 (0.67–1.17) mg/dl; sodium 173 (136–145) mEq/l; potassium 2.2 (3.5–5.1) mEq/l; calcium 6.8 (8.8–10.6) mg/dl; phosphorus >20 (2.5–4.5) mg/dl; magnesium 2.4 (1.6–2.6) mg/dl and parathyroid hormone 400 (12–110) pg/ml. No significant findings in other parameters. Immediate electrolyte replacement therapy was started with 10% calcium gluconate, potassium chloride, loop diuretics, free water and phosphorus chelators via nasogastric tube; enemas were discontinued. Maintained diuresis rate >100 ml/h. A 24 h urinalysis showed: sodium 131 (20–110) mEq/l; potassium 30 (40–136) mEq/l; calcium 3.7 (7–24) mg/dl; phosphorus 207.5 (40–136) mg/dl and magnesium 4.97 (4.1–13.8) mg/dl. After medical treatment, he showed gradual recovery of clinical and haemodynamic status and laboratory parameters returned to normal levels. From a gastrointestinal perspective, a new decompressive colonoscopy was performed with a positive result for cytomegalovirus. Treatment was started with oral valganciclovir, intravenous neostigmine, and later oral cinitapride, with improvement of the symptoms.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The use of sodium phosphate enemas can sometimes cause severe toxicity. The main alterations they cause are hyperphosphataemia, hypocalcaemia and hypernatraemia. This is due to the high concentration of sodium and phosphorus in these preparations, which generates colonic hyperosmolarity causing water to pass into the intestinal lumen as it is exchanged for sodium and causing hypernatraemic dehydration. Phosphorus is excreted via the kidneys and absorbed mainly in the jejunum, favoured by vitamin D<span class="elsevierStyleInf">4</span>, binding to ionic calcium and forming calcium phosphate which precipitates in tissues, causing a compensatory increase in parathyroid hormone.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Severe hyperphosphataemia with fatal outcome has been reported in predisposed patients with renal insufficiency or intestinal transit disorders, although it can also occur in patients without predisposing risk factors.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2,4</span></a></p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Hyperphosphatemia toxicity is determined by the resulting hypocalcaemia, which can cause neuromuscular (tetany, convulsions and coma) and haemodynamic (hypotension, arrhythmias and decreased cardiac contractility) symptoms; as occurred in our case with a CPA outcome.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Its early treatment is of vital importance and is based on promoting renal phosphorus excretion through intensive fluid therapy and diuretics, although these should be used with caution as they may accentuate hypocalcaemia.
