  • Title: An unusual cause of obstructed defecation.
    Author: Solè LI, Rosato G, Bolino MC, Bassotti G.
    Journal: Tech Coloproctol; 2009 Sep; 13(3):247-9. PubMed ID: 19609740.
    Abstract:
    Obstructed defecation is one subtype of constipation, and may be due to functional or mechanical causes. Here, we report an unusual cause, never described before, of obstructed defecation due to a large uterine myoma that reverted to normal bowel habits after surgery. The importance of an accurate evaluation of the causes of constipation is highlighted, to recognize potential curable factors.
