Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Stercoral colitis is a form of colitis caused by fecal impaction distending the colon and causing fecaloma formation. Fecalomas lead to pressure necrosis of the colon and eventual perforation. The increased intraluminal pressure from the distention of the colon causes vascular compromise and ischemia. The most common locations of necrosis are in the sigmoid colon and rectum . When progressed to perforation, the mortality rate is as high as 60%. The most common cases of stercoral colitis occur in nursing home patients, mentally impaired patients, or those with chronic constipation. Here we describe an unusual case of stercoral colitis causing …

Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Sigmoid colon perforation and spread into the abdominal wall is a rare condition that can occur due to various causes such as diverticulitis, trauma, malignancy, or iatrogenic injury during surgery. Although rare, sigmoid colon perforation into the abdominal wall can result in significant morbidity and mortality if not promptly diagnosed and treated. Most common cause of diverticular disease leading to perforation is diverticulitis, accounting for 60% of all colonic perforations.
