Ileal perforation in a child with abdominal tuberculosis (original) (raw)

Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 2010

Abstract

A 6-year-old boy presented with a 1-month history of fever followed by abdominal distension, constipation and bilious vomiting for 2 days. The clinical impression was of intestinal obstruction. At exploratory laparotomy, there was an ileal perforation secondary to tuberculosis. There are many case reports of tubercular ileal perforation in adults but in children it is very rare.
