Rectal Pain and the Colonic Crunch Sign
نویسنده
چکیده
A 31-year-old man presented to a local hospital with lower abdominal and rectal pain. He reported consuming a large bag of sunflower seeds (described as chewing and sucking unshelled seeds). The day after ingestion he noted progressive abdominal pain and difficulty passing stool. Due to the pain, he attempted a self-disimpaction with inability to clear a palpable mass, prompting him to present to the emergency room. Vital signs were stable on presentation and bedside physical examination revealed a non-tender abdomen.

We investigated the dose-response profile for the colonic sensorimotor effects of neostigmine and bethanechol, a direct muscarinic M(2)/M(3) agonist in humans.
