[Clinical symptoms and morphology of ischemic proctitis (author's transl)].
Obliterating arteriosclerotic lesions of pelvic vessels may induce inflammation and fibrosis of the rectum and subsequently ischemic proctitis. This may lead to damage of the sphincter muscle and to complete incontinence. Clinical symptoms are pain and bloody stools, as in ischemic colitis. The combination of periproctitis and perianal necrosis may be misinterpreted as anal fistulas. An anus praeter sigmoideus is to be recommended for palliation. A case report of this particular disease is given including clinical, angiographic and morphological data.
