Postpolypectomy electrocoagulation syndrome is a rare complication of polypectomy with electrocautery and is characterized by a transmural burn of the colon wall. Patients typically present within 12 hours after the procedure with symptoms mimicking colonic perforation. Presented is the case of a 56-year-old man who developed abdominal pain six hours after colonoscopy during which polypectomy was performed using snare cautery. CT imaging of the abdomen revealed circumferential thickening of the wall of the transverse colon without evidence of free air. The patient was treated conservatively as an outpatient and had resolution of his pain over the following four days. Recognition of the diagnosis and understanding of the treatment are important to avoid unnecessary exploratory laparotomy or hospitalization.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV 2) involving the respiratory tract started in 2019 in Wuhan, China but spread to almost all parts of the world to the extent that it was declared a pandemic by WHO. As more and more cases are detected, the involvement of systems other than respiratory was observed and nearly 5 to 50 % of patients have abdominal symptoms like pain and diarrhea. During the course of treatment, few patients developed a rare complication of gastrointestinal perforation. Three cases (two with colonic perforation and one with gastric perforation) of gastrointestinal perforation in COVID-19 positive patient are reported in the article with a review of the literature regarding the various hypothesis of intestinal perforation in these patients.

Unusual Complication

Abstract Free bowel perforation in Crohn's disease is a relatively rare complication. In this report, we present a case of free colonic perforation in a Crohn's disease patient with loop ileostomy previously constructed for intractable perianal abscess. Normally, fecal diversion by ileostomy results in an improvement in Crohn's colitis. However, in some cases, fecal diversion is reported to adversely affect the inflammation of the diverted bowel, and it is this unusual complication of Crohn's disease that we discuss here.

The Common

Abstract Colonic perforation following ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a rare complication. The common treatment is to remove the perforating catheter and replace with new one. In this case report we reported a rare case of colonic perforation following VP shunt and its anal migration. We have discussed its pathogenesis, management strategy and review of literature.
