Stercoral perforation of the colon.
Rozhl Chir. 1995 Apr; 74(3):145-6.RC

Abstract

An elderly man presented with abdominal pain and signs of peritonitis. Emergency laparotomy was performed and a stercoral perforation of the cecum was found with a large scybalum plugging the defect. The patient was treated with right colectomy and a stoma was formed from the terminal ileum and transverse colon. Stercoral perforation of the colon is extremely unusual and carries high morbidity and mortality. The etiology, diagnosis and treatment of the condition are briefly discussed.
