Abstract
|
|
|
Barium enema examination has long been regarded as an essential tool for evaluating the disease of colon and rectum. Although perforation of the colon and rectum during roentgen examination is extremely rare, but iatrogenic perforation lead to
severe
peritonitis or generalized sepsis. In a review of literatures, the reported mortality rate of barium peritonitis due to colonic perforation exceed 50 percent. The proper treatment consists of an immediate laparotomy with removal as much of
contaminating
material as possible. Recently, we experienced and report two cases of barium peritonitis after barium enema study with reviewing the literatures.(Korean J Gastroenterol 1994 ; 26 : 614-618)
