Marine predator strikes rectally inserted eel fish causing colonic perforation: a rare case report and review of literature
Live animals causing rectal perforation have rarely been documented in the literature. Unusual healthcare beliefs, inadvertent sexual conduct, or criminal aggressiveness may be involved. However, the cause may remain a mystery. Rapid diagnosis with proper history, aided by imaging, with urgent surgical intervention, may increase patient survival. Therefore, emergency care physicians should also be conscious of the rare and unusual causes of intestinal perforation to reach the diagnosis promptly.
