title: Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome: an unusual cause of rectal stricture. Case report.
abstract: Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome can be seen in both adults and children but frequently arises in the 3rd and 4th decades of life. The definitive aetiological cause is unknown. Its treatment is primarily medical except in cases presenting complications. In this report, we describe a case of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome complicated by rectal stricture.
