Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Stercoral perforation can be defined as perforation of the bowel due to pressure necrosis from a faecal mass. It is an uncommon but life-threatening complication of unresolved faecal impaction. In this review, we highlight the important computed tomography (CT) findings of faecal impaction and stercoral perforation of the colon and subsequent therapeutic options in the adult population. |
