Core Tip	Vomiting is a common complication of bowel preparation. Forceful vomiting can lead to esophageal perforation, as reported in several prior cases. However, pharyngeal perforation during bowel preparation has not been reported previously. Here, we present a rare case of pharyngeal perforation caused by forceful vomiting during bowel preparation. The perforation was resolved with conservative medical management. Pharyngeal perforation should be considered a potential complication during bowel preparation for colonoscopy when sudden pain in the neck, throat, and anterior chest occurs following forceful vomiting. Early recognition and prompt management are important in vomiting-induced pharyngeal perforation during bowel preparation.
