An Unusual Presentation of Accidental Rectal Corrosive Injury

Abstract

Rectal corrosive injuries occur rarely among adult patients and are confined to suicidal patients and cases of homicide. These injuries are less frequently accidental. No reports of rectal corrosive injury have been reported in the literature to date. In this study, we report an unusual presentation of a very rare case of accidental rectal corrosive injury.
