Abstract

A 57-year-old male was referred to our hospital for the further treatment of rectal stenosis occurred after bloody stools. Colonoscopy and barium enema demonstrated a pin-hole stenosis of the lower rectum. Under the diagnosis of ischemic proctitis, he had been treated by several sessions of endoscopic balloon dilatation and transanal dilatation with Hegar's dilator. After the treatment, the stenosis was improved and no recurrence had been observed for 6 months. This case showed that endoscopic balloon dilatation therapy and the following transanal dilatation with Hegar's dilator were effective for the stricture type of ischemic proctitis.
