Abstract

We report a case of fecalith developed in the remnant rectum after loop sigmoid colostomy due to anal lesion associated with Crohn's disease. A 39-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with anal pain and difficulty of defecation. He was diagnosed as Crohn's disease at 23-year-old and underwent loop sigmoid colostomy due to repeated anal fistula and perianal abscess at 35-year-old. Colonoscopy and X-ray revealed anal stenosis and two fecalith approximately 7 cm in diameter in the rectum. Then, we succeeded in removing the fecalith with jumbo polypectomy snare (45mm in diameter) and endoscopic electrohydraulic lithotripsy. The fecalith was composed of inspissated feces.
