Abstract
We report a 14-year-old boy with severe constipation with a four-year history of no spontaneous bowel movements. Defecography, with synchron ously administered barium enema and barium meal, showed that the small bower could slide down in front of the rectum obstructing defecation. He was operated and a prerectal peritoneal pouch was found, which was resected. Postoperatively he has had daily spontaneous bower movement s. We have found no similar case described in the literature.
