Iatrogenic Colonic Perforation due to Computed Tomographic Colonography [PDF]
Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2015 Although the complications of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) are very rare, CTC is associated with potential risk of colonic perforation. In the present report we describe two cases of colonic perforation secondary to CTC. In the first case with
