Various treatment protocol for SRUS have been described such as conservative management such as family reassurance, regulation of toilet habits, avoidance of straining, encouragement of a high-fiber diet, topical treatments with salicylate, sulfasalazine, steroids and sucralfate, and surgery. Methods: A comprehensive search is done using PubMed, Scopus, Google scholar and MEDLINE. Results: The result of this review will be published in a journal. Conclusion: This study discusses about the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis and various treatment strategy of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome in children.
