  • Acute Abdomen

    Our patient, in retrospect, had a history of mild endometriosis, but we feel that this case serves as a reminder of a rare, but important, differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in females. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Abdominal Distension

    They may also suffer from abdominal distension due to the penetration of gas through the perforation and the entry of this gas into the abdomen. A perforated colon can be diagnosed clinically or radiologically. [labome.org]

    Abdominal examination was significant for diminished bowel sounds, diffuse abdominal distension, rigidity, and tenderness with light palpation. [mdedge.com]

    :: Case report A 3.2 kg, new born, mate child was referred after 24 hours, for increasing abdominal distension. The antenatal as well as perinatal course was normal and uncomplicated. [jpgmonline.com]

  • Chorea

    is a multi-systemic disease being characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies that involves both arterial and venous systems resulting in arterial or venous thrombosis, fetal loss, thrombocytopenia, leg ulcers, livedo reticularis, chorea [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Neglect

    It is a very uncommon finding, and if neglected, results in severe peritonitis, sepsis and high mortality. Colonic perforation treatment is also under review due to morbidity of colostomy and its closure later on for the patient. [jsurgacad.com]

Serum carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 values were not measured during his initial workup. [edoriumjournals.com]

Workup revealed a synchronous colonic perforation. After multidisciplinary discussion she was managed with total colectomy and end ileostomy. [omicsonline.org]

  • Pneumoperitoneum

    Abdominal computed tomography scan showed extensive pneumoperitoneum, pneumoretroperitoneum, pneumomediastinum, and leftsided pneumothorax. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Chest X-ray showed a pneumoperitoneum, which was an indication for emergency surgery. The patient had a laparotomy approach five hours after perforation. The peritoneal cavity was clean. [ghrnet.org]

    On the other hand, this patient underwent same-day colonoscopy before CTC, and thus it is not possible to exclude the possibility that pneumoperitoneum might have occurred at colonoscopy. [karger.com]

One of the patients who received Verres needle desufflation underwent secondary surgery because of failure of nonsurgical treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

High-anesthetic risk patients with colonic perforation have a longer hospital stay and a poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This study is the first to assess the difference in oncological prognosis between sealed-off perforation and free perforation. [wjso.biomedcentral.com]

However, no studies evaluated the prognosis of patients presenting with bowel perforation compared to non-perforated patients. [edoriumjournals.com]

The etiology of these 'nonspecific' ulcers is unknown despite the elaboration of many theories. [ijpmonline.org]

The broad differential diagnosis for abdominal pain requires a high index of suspicion to make an accurate diagnosis of foreign body ingestion as the etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The pathophysiology of stercoral perforation is thought to result from bowel distension around the fecaloma, which causes intraluminal pressure to increase to a point that exceeds the capillary perfusion pressure within the bowel wall. 7 This process [hcplive.com]

In conclusion, bowel perforation following stent placement can be a major complication, so close follow-up is necessary to detect it as soon as possible and prevent it from becoming an irreparable complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
