ABSTRACT
Many hemodialysis patients, because of low fiber diet, water restriction, phosphate binder and endocrine-metabolic disturbance, suffer from chronic constipation. In a state of chronic constipation, a large amount of hard fecal mass often results in fecal impaction. Megacolon, urinary obstruction and perforation of the large bowel rarely develop as a complication of fecal impaction. The authors experienced a case of idiopathic sigmoid colonic perforation, with fecal impaction, in a 66-year-old woman having undergone hemodialyis of 6 years duration. The clinical features of the case are presented, with a review of the literatures.
