Abstract

A patient with retroperitoneal fluid retention after vascular surgery had a fever of unknown cause. Re-examination suggested fluid infection. Surgery was performed, and the patient was diagnosed with colon perforation. If the fluid volume reduces or the fluid comes into contact with the colon, colon perforation should be suspected.
