Key Words Subcutaneous emphysema; Intestinal perforation; Rectal perforation; Atypical presentations; Case report
Core Tip This case describes extensive subcutaneous emphysema as the primary sign of rectal perforation in an elderly patient. A literature review identified only eight similar non-endoscopic studies. The report underscores that in elderly patients, colorectal perforation may lack typical symptoms, and subcutaneous emphysema can be the leading clue, necessitating timely imaging and surgical evaluation.
