Microvascular abnormalities in the mucosal prolapse syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twenty two cases of colorectal mucosal prolapse from a variety of clinical situations were examined histologically to identify changes in the microvasculature which may predispose to ulceration. The findings were compared with 10 tubular adenomas and 10 hyperplastic polyps. Fibrin insudation into vessel walls and thickened mucosal vessels were significantly associated with the presence of ulceration. Possible mechanisms of ulceration are discussed, and an hypothesis based on a microvascular pathogenesis is presented.

متن کاملMucosal prolapse syndrome--a unifying concept for solitary ulcer syndrome and related disorders.
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 Rectal mucosal prolapse syndrome, histologically characterized by fibromuscular obliteration in the lamina propria, hyperplastic glands and thickened muscularis mucosa, causes rectal bleeding. Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune exocrinopathy that chiefly destroys the salivary and lacrimal glands by lympho-plasmacytic infiltration. Although various gastrointestinal manifestations h...
متن کاملPrevalence of psychiatry disorders in patients with mitral valve Prolapse syndrome
SUMMARY: The mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MVPS) is a common cardiac disorder, occurring in five percent of general population. An association has been claimed between MVPS and psychiatry disorders. In this study 648 patients (mean age 32.2 years, 411 female .237 male subjects) with echocardiographically confirmed MVPS were tested for psychiatry disorders, and compared with 660 control group...
متن کاملPressure and prolapse--the cause of solitary rectal ulceration.
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...
