Abstract

Injury to bowel can result in high morbidity and death. Bowel injuries typically occur after external trauma to the abdomen. Bowel injury in the absence of external trauma is rare. Here, we report a 36‐year‐old male presenting with a sigmoid colon laceration likely due to long‐standing constipation.
