Abstract

Diagnostic colonoscopy has evolved to become the gold standard for the screening for carcinoma and other diseases of the colon. Injuries to the colon are rare and may be managed in a variety of ways. This includes observation and bowel rest or operative intervention and repair. Other organs are at risk during colonoscopy. The present report describes a patient who underwent colonoscopy for the work-up of anaemia. Following colonoscopy she developed signs of haemorrhagic shock and was found to have haemoperitoneum. She underwent surgery, and adenocarcinoma of the cecum was identified and managed during exploration. The clinical management is described.
