INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Cocaine, the second most abused drug in Morocco after cannabis, has been associated with multiple cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and digestive complications. Colonic perforation following cocaine abuse is relatively lesser-known and requires attention as abuse rates are increasing, and existing evidence is scarce. Only a few cases have been reported in medical literature.
CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 42-year-old male cocaine addict who presented with acute peritonitis. A laparotomy revealed a 3 cm perforation in the sigmoid, The absence of radiological, biological, and pathological evidence confirms the toxic origin of the perforation.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Cocaine-induced ischemic colitis is a rare occurrence in a surgeon's clinical experience. This condition is typically confirmed through colonoscopy and often resolves without the need for surgery, although a small number of cases may advance to peritonitis, necessitating surgical intervention.
CONCLUSION: Cocaine's adverse effects should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of acute ischemic events in young adults. A general understanding of the significant complications associated with cocaine can aid in achieving early diagnosis and prompt treatment.
