| Popis: | Colonic perforation due to impacted faeces or faecaloma is a relatively uncommon presentation with grave prognosis. If left untreated, it can be life threatening due to complications like faecal peritonitis. Till date, fewer than 150 cases have been reported mostly in the English surgical literature describing constipation as the most common underlying etiology. Involvement of rectum is rare with very limited data published in this context. We present a case of stercoral perforation involving the rectum with associated faecal peritonitis and pneumatosis coli. |
