Abstract
Constipation is a common problem in palliative care. In spite of the most vigilant protocol, some cases can fly under the radar and present in atypical fashion. We report 2 cases of fecal retention, which presented as acute renal failure. Our goal is to bring attention to this problem and briefly discuss the challenges associated with managing this common problem.Entities:
