Anorectal avulsion: an exceptional rectal trauma

Anorectal avulsion is an exceptional rectal trauma in which the anus and sphincter no longer join the perineum
and are pulled upward. As a result, they ventrally follow levator ani muscles. We present a rare case of a 29-years
old patient who was admitted in a pelvic trauma context; presenting a complete complex anorectal avulsion. The
treatment included a primary repair of the rectum and a diverting colostomy so as to prevent sepsis. Closure of the
protective sigmoidostomy was performed seven months after the accident and the evolution was marked by an
anal stenosis requiring iterative dilatations
