    Author: Madan P, Bhayana S, Chandra P, Hughes JI.
    Journal: World J Gastroenterol; 2008 Apr 28; 14(16):2615-6. PubMed ID: 18442219.
    Abstract:
    Stercoral ulceration results from impaction of hard fecal mass on the colonic wall and is a relatively unknown cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. In this report, we describe a case of lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to stercoral ulceration resulting from Sevelamer, a drug which is commonly associated with constipation.
