Özet
Spontaneos perforation of the colon is a rare condition. It is often seen in elderly patients and especially associated with chronic constipation. This disease has a high mortality rate. In contrast with the literature, in this article we report a spontaneous colonic perforation case in a young man without chronic constipation. Colonic perforation is usually misdiagnosed by the clinicians since it occurs rarely. It must be taken into consideration by the clinicians in the pre-diagnostic period, especially in elderly patients with constipation and it should also be kept in mind that it can be also observed in young patients.
