Abscess, caecal perforation, perforation, spontaneous caecal perforationAbstract
Background: Spontaneous caecal perforation secondary to abdominal wall abscess is a rare entity. There may be abdominal wall abscess due to spontaneous caecal perforation. Small and large bowel perforation in neonatal period is common secondary to necrotizing enterocolitis. But beyond neonatal caecal perforation is unusual.
Case presentation: We are reporting an interesting case of spontaneous caecal perforation in two year old female child without any sign and symptoms of peritonitis or abdominal discomfort secondary to abdominal wall abscess. Or it may be vice versa, abdominal wall abscess develops secondary to caecal perforation.
Conclusion: Caecal perforation in children beyond to neonatal period is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, I have never seen in English literature of spontaneous caecal perforation secondary to abdominal wall abscess or vice versa.
