Rectal atresia is a rare condition in which the anus and sphincter muscles are normally developed, with usually no fistulous communication with the urinary tract. We describe an unusual case of membranous rectal atresia with recto-labial fistula. It was treated by blind perforation of rectal membrane with lay opening of fistlous tract.

The clinical course of perianal fistulas and associated abscesses was evaluated prospectively in 90 patients with Crohn's disease. Fistula type, rectal disease, faecal diversion, and immunosuppression were examined as prognostic indicators for fistula healing and recurrence. Median follow up was 22 months. The outcome was evaluated with life table analysis. Prognostic factors were analysed by m...

A 47-year-old womanwas found to have a rectal anastomotic fistula 3 months after undergoing pancolectomy with ileorectal anastomosis and a procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH), for slow transit constipation and rectal prolapse. The fistula (●" Fig.1a– c) had two openings, both in the rectum. The proximal opening of the fistula was at the ileorectal anastomosis, 15cm above the anus (●" F...

Introduction A rectoprostatic fistula complicating a prostatic abscess is extremely rare, and there are many uncertainties regarding its treatment prognosis. Case presentation We present the case of 68‐year‐old male who presented with rectal bleeding. Computed tomography reveals in contact rectum. As conservative antibiotics resulted aggravation symptoms, we placed transperineal catheter placem...

Rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is one of the intractable complications following chemoradiation and total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer. It is supposed that there is a strong possibility of this complication occurring in patients after radiation therapy and having underlying sepsis. We describe herein two female patients (73 and 40 years old) who developed RVF after chemoradiation and...

We describe a rare case of spinal epidural abscess, which resulted from a colospinal fistula that developed as a complication of previous surgical resection and radiotherapy for rectal carcinoma. The patient's clinical course and the imaging features of colospinal fistula are described, along with a brief review of the literature.

Rectal bleeding is a common reason for presentation to hospital, with large bleeds most commonly caused by diverticular disease and angiodysplasia. Here we present an unusual aetiology of massive per-rectal bleeding attributable to pseudoaneurysm of the internal iliac artery leading to an arterial fistula to the distal large bowel. It is hoped the case will serve as a reminder that rectal bleed...

Massive lower gastrointestinal from primary isolated ilio-rectal fistula is a rare condition and difficult to diagnosis and emergency surgery for this situation has a high mortality rate. This report describes a successful operation in an 88-year-old man at present with massive lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage from ilio-rectal fistula and hypovolemic shock. Underlying diseases are prostate can...

BACKGROUND While ovarian mature cystic teratomas are benign ovarian germ-cell tumors and the most common type of all ovarian tumors, the formation of fistulas into surrounding organs such as the bladder and the intestinal tract is extremely rare. This report documents a case of ovarian mature cystic teratoma with a rectal fistula, thought to be caused by local inflammation. CASE DESCRIPTION A...
