title: [Solitary ulcer of the rectum. Apropos of a case in childhood and review of bibliography].
abstract: A case of a chronically constipated 10 year-old-girl, who had severe rectal bleeding associated with her monthly bowel movement is presented. Barium enema revealed an irregular and rigid area in rectal and sigmoid wall. Endoscopy showed an irregular erosion of 4 by 2 cm, from which biopsies were taken. These were reported as compatible with solitary ulcer of rectum. Patient was treated with dietetic management and clinically and psychiatrically controlled. Two years after initial admission she had no clinical or endoscopic evidence of disease.
