Stercorary aseptic peritonitis due to diastatic caecal perforation: Computed tomography findings
2006

The event may become severe due to the peritonitic development. We present a case of caecal perforation associated with sub-occlusive carcinoma of the left colon and hypotonic colitis caused by chronic lavative abuse, demonstrated with Computed Tomography.
