At the age of 2 yrs. 10 mo. he had terry stools, a perforation of the sigmoid was caused by an ulcer, the perforation was oversewn. Further discharge of liquid stools. Rectoscopy, endoradiography, rectal biopsy with identification of gastric mucosa. 99mTc-pertechnetate was accumulated in the rectal mucosa.
