description Neonatal spontaneous colonic perforation in term neonates is a rare phenomenon, with caecal perforation being seldom reported. Therefore, this case report presents a rare case of spontaneous caecal perforation in a term neonate who presented with vomiting and abdominal distension on day two of life. On exploration, a single large full‑thickness cecum perforation was noted. Histopathologic samples were negative for necrotizing enterocolitis and Hirschsprung’s disease. Clinical awareness of this rare entity could help in preventing delays in imaging and prompt surgical management.
