abstract: Solitary Rectal Ulcer Syndrome (Rectal Prolapse Syndrome) is an uncommon and imperfectly understood entity which, however, should be included in the differential diagnosis of ano-rectal symptoms. This article reports on the nine cases so far diagnosed at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI), and offers a brief review of the condition.
