This report is based on limited information, even after repeated inquiries to family members and care-givers, concerning a 63-year-old male (bmi 31), who is a u.S.Resident, suffering from multiple sclerosis (ms) and multiple comorbidities (not described in detail).There is no information regarding medication or other medical history.Due to constipation, peristeen irrigation was initiated about 2 years prior to the present event, and the patient had at that time been rectally examined and trained to irrigate himself.The patient used 700-900 ml water and irrigated himself mostly every day (reported by wife).On the day of the event, it appears that the insertion of the catheter was eventless, but in the descriptions, it is mentioned that ¿he heard a ¿pop¿ and then felt unwell and fainted.He was immediately transferred to a hospital emergency room.A ct scan was performed, and it states in the descriptions that it showed a ¿thickening of the rectal-sigmoidal wall¿.An acute laparotomy was performed, and 700-900 ml was ¿evacuated from the abdominal cavity¿ with subsequent colostomy creation.The post-operative trajectory was complicated by sepsis and abscess formation and the patient was in antibiotic treatment 3 weeks later due to ¿high white blood cells count.¿ although several attempts were made to obtain further and clarifying information about this incident from family and caregivers, this was not possible.No information about the specific peristeen device, used by the patient at the time of the event, was available.However, it appears valid to accept that this case concerns a bowel perforation in relation peristeen irrigation, which is a well-known complication to anal irrigation and described in the instructions for use (ifu).
