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 acuteabdomen in females.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They may also suffer from abdominaldistension 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 abdominaldistension, 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 abdominaldistension. The antenatal as well as perinatal course was normal and uncomplicated.[jpgmonline.com]
The most common presenting symptoms are poor oral feeding, progressive abdominaldistension with bilious vomiting, tachypnea, failure or delayed passage of meconium or bleeding per rectum [6, 7].[jpss.eu]
Perforation of the colon by endometriosis is very rare and the patients generally present with an asymptomatic or painful pelvicmass, often in the left iliac fossa.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Her electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia with a rate of 154 beats/min, a QTc within normal limits, and no ST elevations or depressions.[mdedge.com]
Arrhythmia Cardiac arrhythmias including bradycardia, less often tachycardia, atrial premature contractions, paroxysms of atrial fibrillation, and ventricular premature contractions have been documented during procedural sedation.[intechopen.com]
Presenting signs and symptoms of bowel perforation in 24 patients treated with bevacizumab. 12 *Specific signs included mental status changes, fever, tachycardia ( 120 beats per minute), and leukocytosis.[jaoa.org]
Lung and heart sounds were normal but heart rhythm was tachycardia. The abdomen was distended and tenderness was noted to direct and rebound palpation with guarding in all quadrants.[omicsonline.org]

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

However, no studies evaluated the prognosis of patients presenting with bowel perforation compared to non-perforated patients.[edoriumjournals.com]
The idiopathic type is less common than stercoral type but the prognosis is better because of the minimum degree of fecal contamination. The stercoral type is associated with chronic constipation and the use of NSAIDs.[omjournal.org]

The purpose of this study was to examine the pathophysiology of colonic perforations in diagnostic colonoscopies caused by looping of the colonoscope in the sigmoid colon. We discuss the findings in relation to those of the current literature.[labome.org]

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]
