The cause of solitary rectal ulceration has been investigated using a method that radiologically visualises rectal voiding whilst simultaneously measuring intrarectal pressure and external anal sphincter electromyographic activity. Control subjects and patients with the solitary rectal ulcer syndrome, both with and without mucosal ulceration, have been studied. A high incidence of rectal prolap...

A retrospective analysis of the clinical profile, endoscopic features and management of 22 children (age 18 months-18 years) diagnosed as solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is presented. The majority (81.8%) were ≥8 years of age. Rectal bleeding was the presenting feature in all the children. Mucorrhea, constipation, tenesmus and rectal prolapse were observed in 77.3%, 63.6%, 59% and 13.6% children...

We describe a highly unusual case of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) that presented as a large polyp protruding from the anal canal. A 67-year-old man presented with rectal bleeding and mucus discharge. At examination under anaesthesia, a large pedunculated polypoidal lesion was found, measuring 25 × 20 mm, arising posterolaterally from the anorectal junction and protruding externally 50 ...

Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome(SRUS)은 1830년 Cruveilhier에 의해 처음 기술된 이후 1969년 Madigan과 Morson에 의 해 병리 소견이 연구되었다 1) . 젊은 성인에서 가장 빈도가 높으 며 2, 3) , 성별에 따른 빈도의 차이는 없거나, 일부 보고에서 여성 에 더 많은 것으로 알려져 있다 2, 4) . 아직 소아에 있어서 빈도에 관한 정확한 조사는 없으며, 다만 소아기에 매우 드문 질환으로 만 알려져 있고 소아의 SRUS에 대한 연구는 아직 소수에서 되 어있을 뿐이다 5-7) . 증상으로는 직장출혈, 점액성의 분비물, 긴 배 변시간, 뒤무직, 회음부의 국소적 통증을 주로 나타내며 5-10) , 일 반적으로 시행하는 검사에서 정상 소견을 보여 종종 오...

Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is an uncommon poorly understood benign disorder of defecation. SRUS may simulate other disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease andneoplasms. Histopathological analysis forms the cornerstone of diagnosis for SRUS.Key histological features include fibromuscular obliteration of the lamina propria with splaying of the muscularis mucosae upward between the...

Nineteen cases of classical solitary ulcer of the rectum syndrome (SURS) and sixteen examples of rectal mucosal prolapse are described. Similarities in the histological and histochemical features of the two groups lead us to suggest that the term "mucosal prolapse syndrome" be used to describe this group of disorders in which mucosal prolapse--overt or occult is the common underlying pathogenet...

Introduction: Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is a great masquerader and misdiagnosis has serious implications for the patient. Methods and materials: We reviewed 21 patients with histopathologically proven SRUS at our tertiary care teaching hospital in South India. Results: Bleeding per rectum and constipation with passage of mucous were the common symptoms at presentation. Endoscopy rev...
