INTRODUCTION: and importance: The caesarean section is a widely spread procedure and 29.7 million times performed every year inn 169 countries in the world. Overall, complications are seen in 6% for elective caesarean to 15% for emergency caesarean.
CASE PRESENTATION: We here report a case which was initially diagnosed as a postoperative paralytic ileus. After a complicated caesarean section caused by bleeding and problems with haemostasis, a healthy child was born with full mother recovery for the first 24 hours after surgery. Unfortunately, her condition deteriorated between 24 and 48 hours and she reported progressive nausea and painful bloating. Laboratory tests and CT imaging showed progressive signs of inflammation and distention of the caecum and colon. A second CT scan the next day revealed signs of perforation. An ileocecal resection was performed with a primary anastomosis. Full recovery occurred two weeks later.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: With an estimated incidence of only 0,08%, bowel perforations due to caesarean section, are rare. Moreover, is the clinical presentation diverse and computed topography is essential during the diagnostic process. To avoid potential morbidity and mortality, the surgeon must consider performing a laparotomy in case of a deteriorating patient in non-invasive treatment fails.
CONCLUSION: Caecal perforation must be considered as complication after a caesarean section. An ileocecal resection is necessary in this situation. This case report shows that a primary anastomosis is a possible option in a healthy patient that is hemodynamically stable during the operation. In case of an unhealthy or hemodynamic unstable patient, the safest option is a temporary ileostomy.
