Retroperitoneal barytoma.
A rare case of retroperitoneal fibrosis after rectal perforation during a barium enema is reported. Pelvic cellulitis due to infiltration of barium and fecal matter is a serious complication and needs an energetic treatment. Urologic complications appear later and result from the formation of a foreign body granuloma.
