A Case of Post-Colonoscopy Cecal Perforation in a 78-Year-Old Man Responding to Conservative Management.

Since the 1960s, colonoscopy has been the most extensively utilized diagnostic technique for colorectal cancer, and it is also a treatment tool for several colorectal diseases. Like many other medical treatments, it has complications, some of which might pose a major threat to the patient's health and wellbeing if not detected early enough. There is no consensus on the best way to treat colonoscopic perforation, and the majority of cases need immediate surgery. However, iatrogenic colon perforation can sometimes be treated conservatively. In this report, we describe a case of post-colonoscopic cecal perforation that was managed conservatively.

Multiple Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors With Findings of Intestinal Obstruction.

Carcinoid tumors are one of the most common types of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs). However, SI-NETs that manifest as subacute intestinal obstruction are extremely rare. The annual occurrence rate of jejuno-ileal NETs is 0.28-0.8 per 100,000 people. In this report, we describe a case of subacute intestinal obstruction due to a mid-ileal stricture. The patient underwent laparotomy after evaluation and investigation. Mid-ileal growth was noted, and small bowel resection was performed with primary end-to-end anastomosis. Postoperative histopathology revealed the growth to be a well-differentiated NET.
