Abstract
Solitary rectal ulcer is reported to be a rare disease among children therefore it is usually difficult to diagnose. Several studies have been done regarding clinical presentation and diagnosis of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS). Celiac disease has been rarely associated with SRUS and currently no data is available regarding the incidence of SRUS in celiac disease. Here we present to you a case of a 15 years old boy, with previously diagnosed with celiac disease, now presented with bleeding per rectum and was diagnosed to have SRUS.
