[Spontaneous perforation of the cecum after cesarean section].

Abstract
The literature concerning perforation and imminent perforation of the caecum after cesarean section is reviewed. One case has been observed by the author. Increasing caecal diameter above 10 cm gives rise to suspicion of an imminent perforation of the caecum. Medical treatment and colonoscopy may be tried. In case of unresponsiveness or if occurrence of a cecal perforation, surgical intervention (cecostomy) is indicated.
