Abstract
We report a case of incarcerated rectal prolapse that could not be red uced after using the previously described application of ordinary tabl e sugar. Gentle pressure caused the prolapsed rectum to perforate, and the small bowel herniated through the tear. This is only the secund c ase reported in the literature of an ileal herniation through a perfor ated rectum after an attempted reduction of an incarcerated prolapse. It is the only reported case occurring after sugar application and the 42nd case of ileal herniation through the rectum from all causes.
