“…If a prolapse occurs it is a substantial problem, especially in elderly patients. In these cases, prolapse is the leading problem in the so-called prolapse syndrome, which is a combination of prolapse as well as constipation and fecal incontinence [5]. The increased viscosity of secretion and associated constipation might be the underlying condition leading to heavy straining [6].…”

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder. Anorectal involvement might typically cause fecal incontinence and rarely rectal prolapse. Here we report three female patients, who were admitted with a mean history of 10 years suffering from SSc. All patients presented with the initial symptom of anal incontinence, in all cases this was associated with rectal intussusception or rectal prolapse. The three women faced prolapse recurrence, independent of the initial procedure. After surgical removal of the prolapse, the incontinence remained.In SSc rectal prolapse syndrome might occur at an earlier age, and a primary prolapse of the ventral aspect of the rectal wall seems to be typical for this disease. If patients with prior diagnosis of SSc appear with third degree of fecal incontinence, it is suspected to be associated with rectal prolapse. The prolapse recurrence rate after surgery in SSc patients is high.

Das Analrandkarzinom ist eine selte ne Erkrankung, deren Genese weit gehend unklar ist. Epidemiologische Studien aus Skandinavien haben in den letzten Jahren einen Hinweis da rauf gegeben, dass lange bestehen de benigne proktologische Erkran kungen einen Einfluss auf die Häufig keit von Analkarzinomen haben [1]. Die direkt toxische Wirkung, die eine chronische Irritation haben kann, wird im folgenden Fall demonstriert.
