    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Colorectal Surgery

    Background:

    • Stercoral ulceration is bowel wall damage from hardened feces.
    • It predominantly affects constipated, bedridden individuals, often elderly.

    Observation:

    • Lesions typically appear in the rectosigmoid area.
    • Complications include perforation and hemorrhage, with over 50% mortality.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis is critical in constipated patients with acute abdominal pain and signs of perforation.
    • Early surgical management, including debridement and colostomy, is recommended.

    Implications:

    • Increasing elderly population may lead to more stercoral ulceration cases.
    • This condition requires prompt recognition and aggressive surgical treatment.
