Abstract
Fecal impaction is a common and potentially dangerous disease that occurs in all age groups with a frequency of approximately 15%. Children, the elderly and people with disabilities are considered the most vulnerable. It is a complex diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Coprostasis usually occurs in conditions of chronic or severe constipation, anatomical anorectal abnormalities, and neurogenic or functional gastrointestinal disorders. Fecalomas are one of the manifestations of coprostasis and can lead to a large range of complications. Only knowledge of possible complications and their timely diagnosis can prevent the development of life-threatening conditions. In our work, we present the case of giant fecaloma, complicated by hydronephrosis and obstructive pyelonephritis.
