1/91. Sigmoid colon cancer presenting as complete rectal prolapse: report of a case.We describe herein the unusual case of a 76-year-old woman who was diagnosed as having sigmoid colon cancer after presenting with complete rectal prolapse. The rectal prolapse was considered to have been caused by constipation accelerated by the colon cancer. The relationship between colorectal cancer and rectal prolapse has not yet been clarified; however, this case report suggests that rectal prolapse can present as a symptom of colorectal cancer. Thus, patients with a sudden onset of rectal prolapse should be screened for colorectal cancer.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = rectal prolapse, prolapse (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/91. Silent bowel perforation and transanal prolapse of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.A 2-year-old hydrocephalic child presenting with ventriculitis following intestinal perforation by a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is reported. The peritoneal end of the shunt had extruded through the anus without causing any abdominal signs. Removal of the shunt, external ventriculostomy, and antibiotics were effective treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0073356665508003keywords = prolapse, anus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/91. rupture of the rectosigmoid colon with evisceration of the small bowel through the anus.Spontaneous rupture of the rectosigmoid colon and herniation of the small intestine through the rupture site and eventual evisceration through the anus is a very rare event. In the literature, only 42 cases have been reported. The majority of them occurred in patients with rectal prolapse and one case was reported in association with a third-degree uterine prolapse. We experienced an 81-year-old female patient with rectal prolapse and second-degree uterine prolapse complicated by spontaneous perforation of the rectosigmoid colon and anal evisceration of the small intestine. Segmental resection of the nonviable small intestine, primary repair of the ruptured rectosigmoid colon, and sigmoid loop colostomy were performed, and the patient recovered well. In our patient, both rectal and uterine prolapses cooperatively damaged the anterior wall of the rectosigmoid colon and resulted in perforation. So, rectal and uterine prolapses should be treated before the complication develops. In this patient, uterine prolapse should be treated because of the recurrence of this rare episode.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.23139871775199keywords = rectal prolapse, prolapse, anus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/91. Schistosomal pelvic floor myopathy contributes to the pathogenesis of rectal prolapse in young males.PURPOSE: rectal prolapse is common in young males in egypt. The role of schistosomiasis in the pathogenesis of rectal prolapse is not clearly defined. The purpose of this work is to study changes in the pelvic floor muscles in patients of rectal prolapse associated with schistosomiasis. methods: This study included 33 male patients with rectal prolapse of whom 27 patients with schistosomiasis and 6 patients free from schistosomiasis. Biopsies were taken from the pelvic floor muscle during surgery. The prepared sections were examined for histopathologic structural changes, for ultrastructural changes (by using electron microscopy) and after immunohistochemical staining by using anti-IgG and anti-IgM antibodies. RESULTS: The muscles from the patients without schistosomiasis had no histologic or EM changes and showed negative staining for IgG and IgM. Myopathic changes were found in the group of patients with schistosomiasis, including increased variation in the fiber diameter in 66.6 percent of patients, degenerative changes in 59.26 percent of patients, fiber splitting and fragmentation in 44.4 percent of patients, and endomysial fatty changes in 55.5 percent of patients. Ultrastructural study revealed starting loss of striation and margination of the nucleus in 70.37 percent of patients, distorted myofibrillar pattern in 51.85 percent of patients, disturbed endoplasmic reticulum and increased glycogen granules in all patients, the mitochondria are irregularly arranged with electron dense matrix in 40.74 percent of patients, and prominent nuclear sap in 13.72 percent of patients. The muscles of all the schistosomal patients showed a positive cytoplasmic staining for immunoglobulin g, of them only 12 patients showed positive staining for IgM. CONCLUSION: patients with schistosomiasis suffer from pelvic floor myopathic changes that may contribute to the pathogenesis of rectal prolapse in young males. The immunohistochemical findings suggest immunologic mechanism for this myopathy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.89072234470384keywords = rectal prolapse, prolapse (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/91. Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome in children.Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is rare in children. Few reported cases have undergone detailed investigations, treatments have been extremely varied and outcome poorly documented. We report two cases of SRUS in children, each with a different macroscopic pathology. The diagnosis was delayed in both cases. The importance of appropriate investigation and the need to tailor treatment to the type of lesion are emphasised. One case of SRUS was associated with a complete, full thickness rectal prolapse and symptoms improved after an abdominal sutured rectopexy. The other patient responded well to endoanal excision of polypoid lesions. The diagnosis and management of this condition in children deserves wider recognition.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.11111111111111keywords = rectal prolapse, prolapse (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/91. Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome presenting with rectal prolapse, severe mucorrhea and eroded polypoid hyperplasia: case report and review of the literature.A case of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome in a 36-year-old woman presenting with severe, persistent mucorrhea and eroded polypoid hyperplasia as the predominant clinical features, who was ultimately noted to have symptoms of rectal prolapse, is presented. Endoscopically, she had multiple (50 to 60) small, whitish polypoid lesions in the rectum that were initially misinterpreted as being a carpeted villous adenoma, juvenile polyposis or atypical proctitis. The lesions were treated with argon plasma coagulation with resolution, but a solitary rectal ulcer developed. The patient then admitted to a history of massive rectal prolapse over the preceding six months and underwent surgical treatment. Severe mucorrhea as the presenting feature and the presence of multiple polypoid lesions consistent with a histological diagnosis of eroded polypoid hyperplasia make the present case unique.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.66666666666667keywords = rectal prolapse, prolapse (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/91. Squamous cell carcinoma in situ arising in inflammatory cloacogenic polyps: report of two cases with PCR analysis for HPV dna.Inflammatory cloacogenic polyp (ICP) is regarded as part of the spectrum of pathological changes encountered in mucosal prolapse syndrome (MPS)/solitary rectal ulcer. We present the clinicopathological features of two females with squamous cell carcinoma in situ arising in their ICPs. Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 was demonstrated in the areas of squamous carcinoma in situ in both polyps by polymerase chain reaction. These cases highlight the need for close scrutiny of the squamous components of these lesions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0018334558149487keywords = prolapse (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/91. An unusual case of peutz-jeghers syndrome in an infant.An 11-month-old girl had an unusual history of colocolonic intussusception associated with polyps that prolapsed through the rectum. Several months thereafter, characteristic brownish-black pigment spots of the lips were noted. The histologic appearance of the polyps was consistent with that of the peutz-jeghers syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the youngest reported case of symptomatic peutz-jeghers syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0018334558149487keywords = prolapse (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/91. Obstructed defecation caused by a cystourethrocele and mobile posterior vaginal wall: a case report.Obstructed defecation may be caused by a rectocele and/or enterocele. Rectal wall procidentia may be due to an enterocele bulging into the rectum. Another cause of rectal procidentia resulting in obstructed defecation is presented. A 65-year-old woman complained of vaginal prolapse and incomplete bowel emptying. Pelvic examination revealed that a stage III anterior vaginal wall prolapse caused a mobile posterior vaginal wall to prolapse into the anal canal, resulting in rectal procidentia and subsequently in obstructed defecation. Careful assessment of all pelvic floor compartments is important to identify the cause of obstructed defecation, particularly in the absence of a rectocele.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0055003674448461keywords = prolapse (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/91. The solitary ulcer syndrome of the rectum.The solitary ulcer syndrome of the rectum is not rare but often remains unrecognised. A greater awareness of the condition will lead to more frequent diagnosis. The aetiology remains unproven but the evidence would suggest that a combination of prolapse, trauma and ischaemia, caused by excessive straining at stool may be important factors. The reasons for straining at stool are also obscure but in some cases a failure in the normal behaviour of the puborectalis may be involved. The history and clinical features of the condition are described, and the pathogenesis discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0018334558149487keywords = prolapse (Clic here for more details about this article) |
