Colon perforation is a rather uncommon event usually
caused by malignancy, amoebic colitis, diverticular
disease, spontaneous perforation, stercoral ulceration,
steroid therapy, trauma, and ulcerative colitis[4]. The
usual definition of stercoral perforation is “Perforation
of the large bowel due to pressure necrosis from a fecal
mass”[6], and represents a cause of colon perforation.
