In Pregnancy

The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) is rising worldwide, despite the efficacy of the BCG vaccination. Populations at greatest risk of contracting TB are migrant communities, as well as immunocompromised individuals. The diagnosis of extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) can often present as a diagnostic conundrum, due to its nonspecific and varied presentation, often mimicking inflammatory bowel disease or malignancy. We present a case of caecal TB in pregnancy, which resulted in caecal perforation, a right hemicolectomy, and severe preterm delivery. The aim of this case report is to discuss the diagnosis of extrapulmonary TB, as well as its subsequent management in pregnancy.

Caecal Perforation

Fecalith is a concretion of dry compact feces or hard stony mass of faeces in the intestinal tract. Thoughappendicular fecoliths are commonly encountered, caecal fecoliths are rare entities. Fecoliths areamenable to conservative management with laxatives and enemas but surgical management preventsrecurrence. We present a case of 27 years old male who was diagnosed with acute appendicitis withperitonitis. He was intraoperatively diagnosed as gangrenous and perforated retrocaecal appendixwith multiple small fecaliths and a large fecalith on cecum with perforation. Appendectomy andprimary repair of caecal perforation done. Histological examination of perforated margin confirmedas an inflammatory lesion.

Caecal Perforation

Spontaneous perforation of caecum is a rare entity. Here we present a case of 72-year-old male who had presented with pain, distension of abdomen with tense pneumo-peritonium and peritonitis. Exploratory laparotomy showed caecal perforation without any obvious cause.  Various theories have been proposed regarding the pathology but still its etiology remains a dilemma. Though it is not a common entity, it weighs a high importance in case of diagnosis and prompt intervention due to its high mortality from peritonitis and septicaemia.
