ABSTRACT
A 15-year-old boy with caecal haematoma required a right hemicolectomy due to development of small bowel obstruction and near caecal perforation having presented several days after an episode of minor trauma. The position of the caecum between intraperitoneal and extraperitoneal bowel requires special treatment considerations. This is a unique case in an adolescent because caecal haematoma usually presents acutely with abdominal pain.
