    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare complication following rectal perforation during a barium enema. Prompt treatment is crucial for pelvic cellulitis, while urologic issues may arise later from granuloma formation.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Barium enemas are diagnostic procedures for rectal and colon imaging.
    • Rectal perforation is a rare but serious complication of barium enema.
    • Retroperitoneal fibrosis is an uncommon sequela.

    Observation:

    • A case of retroperitoneal fibrosis following rectal perforation during a barium enema is presented.
    • The patient developed pelvic cellulitis due to barium and fecal matter infiltration.
    • Delayed urologic complications were observed.

    Findings:

    • Pelvic cellulitis requires aggressive management.
    • Foreign body granuloma formation is implicated in later urologic complications.
    • Retroperitoneal fibrosis developed as a consequence of the perforation and subsequent inflammation.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and management of rectal perforation complications are vital.
    • Understanding the pathogenesis of retroperitoneal fibrosis and urologic issues post-perforation is important for patient outcomes.
    • This case highlights the potential for delayed complications following barium enema-induced rectal injury.
