Abstract Background and study aims Symptomatic capsule retention is a very rare adverse event following patency capsule, and the vast majority of cases are resolved without either surgical or endoscopic intervention. We herein describe a rare case of small bowel perforation after swallowing a patency capsule in a 37-year-old man suspected of having Crohn’s disease.

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.

Small bowel perforation following a capsule endoscopy (CE) is a rare but dreadful complication. We report a CE induced small bowel perforation in a patient with Crohn’s disease where preoperative investigations failed to reveal any strictures.
