Acute transanal ileal evisceration.

N A Gooley, M Kuhnke, E B Eusebio

    Diseases of the Colon and Rectum
    |June 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This report details a rare case of spontaneous transanal evisceration of the small bowel, even after prior rectal prolapse repair. Weakness in the rectal wall and increased abdominal pressure likely cause this unusual event.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Spontaneous transanal evisceration of the small bowel is an exceptionally rare surgical emergency.
    • Prior surgical history, such as rectal prolapse repair, may influence the risk of such events.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of spontaneous transanal evisceration occurred in a patient with a history of rectal prolapse repair.
    • No evidence of rectal prolapse recurrence was noted at the time of evisceration.

    Findings:

    • The event is hypothesized to result from inherent or acquired weakness of the anterior rectal wall.
    • A sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure is considered a precipitating factor.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering rectal wall integrity in patients presenting with rare abdominal emergencies.
