Abstract:
Tuberculosis of the colon can involve any part of the colon whereas the
involvement of the rectum is rarely reported even from areas where
gastrointestinal tuberculosis is prevalent [1,2]. It is a rare manifestation of extra pulmonary
tuberculosis which typically occurs as a result of the spread of TB from adjacent
organs or through hematogenous dissemination. Here we report a 38-year-old male
from India presented with complaints of severe lower abdominal pain, bleeding
per rectum, dysuria for 3 days, was diagnosed as tuberculosis rectal stricture
[3,5].
Keywords: Rectal stricture, Fistula, Hemorrhoids, GI Tuberculosis.
