Abstract
Self-treatment of chronic headache with suppositories containing parac etamol and acetylsalaicylic acid may lead to serious complications. We report the radiological features of five cases of rectal stenosis fol lowing the use of such suppositories. The role of the double-contrast barium enema in suggesting the diagnosis of this complication of a chr onic and often unrecognized self-treatment is emphasized.
