Abstract

Disorders of an organ not usually found in the right iliac fossa, such as the sigmoid colon, are an uncommon cause of right iliac fossa pain. We present a case of right iliac fossa pain caused by a sigmoid perforation due to involuntary ingestion of a rabbit bone, and describe the main features of this condition.
