Abstract:
A case is reported of acute stercoral peritonitis secondary to the perforation of the sigmoid colon caused by the accidental ingestion of a denture during sleep. In our patient, the clinical presentation suggested acute peritonitis. Standard radiography revealed pneumoperitoneum. During laparotomy, a perforation of the sigmoid colon was found with a denture lodged in the perforation. The patient underwent suturing of the perforation with the creation of a protective stoma, and closure of stoma was realized two months later.
