Abstract
Background: Bowel perforation is an important cause of acute abdomen. It carries high morbidity and mortality. Materials and methods: The present descriptive study included 48 patients with ileal perforation admitted at the department of surgery.

Abdominal pain and distension (100%) and constipation (87.5%) were the common symptoms seen. Single perforation was commoner (64.6%) than multiple perforations. It was caused by typhoid in 39.6% cases, due to tuberculosis in 16.7%, due to injury in 10.4% and other causes in 33.3% cases. Surgical site infection was the commonest complication.
