Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome in children: a prospective study of cases from southern Iran

As the clinical presentation varies, the diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion on the part of both the clinician and the pathologist. This entity is not rare in children in our center, which may be due to the traditional method of defecation (in squatting position). Furthermore, we conclude that sucralfate enema is a suitable initial medical treatment for children with SRUS, and that injection of corticosteroid is a new treatment modality that requires further research to establish its efficacy.
