- Abstract:
- Perforation of the colon can have any number of causes. Most often, it is the result of carcinoma or diverticulitis; specific inflammatory disease of the large intestine is a less common cause. Other possibilities are iatrogenic perforation, perforation as a result of blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma, and ingestion of a foreign body. A case of perforation of the cecum by a toothpick 3 weeks after consumption of a beef olive is reported; possible diagnostic problems, other conditions that need to be considered in the differential diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
