Fecaloma with stercoral colitis

Discussion:

This patient with a history of previous large stroke, bed bound and nonverbal, presented with non-specific pain which localized to the lower abdomen. CT showed large fecaloma with stercoral proctitis. She underwent manual disimpaction and enema with good effect. An uncommon but serious complication of fecaloma includes stercoral perforation and potential fecal peritonitis.
