loon dilation is 0-14% (1-3). An esophageal perforation is classified into three types: a type I-intramural perforation; a type II-transmural perforation; and a type IIItransmural perforation with mediastinal leakage (4). Fasting, parenteral alimentation, and antibiotics are generally used to treat types-I and II esophageal perforations. However, a type III esophageal perforation showing progre...

Duodenal perforation in childhood is a rare condition with a high mortality rate if not treated surgically. Primary gastroduodenal perforation is frequently associated with peptic ulcer and exhibits a positive family history. Helicobacter pylorus is the most significant agent. Secondary gastroduodenal perforation may be a finding of specific diseases, such as Crohn disease, or more rarely may b...

Colonic perforation occurs in a variety of clinical scenarios and colonoscopy-associated perforation is one of the important reasons for colonic perforation. Colonoscopy-associated perforation may be diagnosed during colonoscopy procedure by the visualization of evident colonic wall defect or, after the completion of colonoscopy, by the visualization of leaked air in the peritoneal or retroperi...

Colon perforation is an uncommon but serious complication of colonoscopy. It may occur as either intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal perforation or in combination. The majority of colonic perforations are intraperitoneal, causing air and intracolonic contents to leak into the peritoneal space. Rarely, colonic perforation can be extraperitoneal, leading to the passage of air into the retroperiton...

internal resorption is rare in permanent teeth. treatment is usually performed through warm gutta-percha technique. if the resorptive process perforates the root, treatment may be more difficult and is usually performed via surgical approach. non-surgical repair of a perforating internal root resorption with mta was conducted in this case. before repairing the resorption, a master gutta-percha ...

PURPOSE The incidence of complications after colonoscopy is very low. The complications after colonoscopy that are of clinical concern are bleeding and perforation. The present study was conducted to determine the clinical outcomes and the risk factors of a colostomy or a colectomy after colonoscopic colon perforation. METHODS From March 2009 to December 2012, the records of all patients who ...

If one excludes those cases of perforation which are secondary to volvulus, intestinal atresia, congenital bands, intussusception, herniation of the bowel, meconium ileus or Hirschsprung's disease, there remains a group of newborn infants who develop perforation of the colon without apparent cause. Spontaneous perforation of the colon in the neonate was first described by Breslau in 1863. It is...

BACKGROUND The incidence of coronary perforation using new percutaneous revascularization techniques may be increased compared with PTCA. Still, perforation is uncommonly reported, and the optimal management and expected outcome remain unknown. The objectives of the study were to determine the incidence of coronary perforation using balloon angioplasty (percutaneous transluminal coronary angiop...
