Abstract:
Two cases of perforation of the normal colon during barium contrast examination are reported. Overdistention of the colon with air and barium contrast examination are reported. Overdistention of the colon with air and barium should be avoided in a patient with a competent ileocecal value. While rare, this complication can be life-threatening.
