Solitary rectal diverticulum: A case report

Abstract

Rectal diverticulas are very rare and most of patients with rectal diverticula are diagnosed incidentally. Inflammatory processes may have developed at the time of the diagnosis. Here we report a case of rectal diverticulum which was developed after stapled transanal rectal resection procedure. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging revealed a giant diverticulum of the rectum. A fecaloma is removed from rectum endoscopically.
