| Abstract: | Perforation of the rectum in the antenatal period is extremely rare. Three cases have been reported worldwide. Its aetiology
and pathophysiology are poorly understood. Rapid recognition by its classical signs is mandatory as delay in diagnosis leads
to serious morbidity. We report a fourth case, and make recommendations regarding management. |
