Rojanasakul A Defecography of twenty-seven cases of anorectal disorders with an age range from 22 to
86 years, were evaluated from June 1989 to February 1999. There were 24 patients with constipa-
tion, 2 patients with incomplete defecation and mucous bloody stool in one case. The defeco-
graphic results were analyzed regarding the following
1)
anorectal angle, defined both at rest and
straining
2)
abnormalities of the rectal configuration during straining, including rectocele, intus-
susception, infolding and ulceration. 3) pelvic floor descent. The results showed abnormal ano-
rectal angle
5
cases, rectocele 15 cases, intussusception of the rectal wall 3 cases, infolding
11
cases, ulceration 7 cases and anal canal constriction 1 case.
ronsequently, the patients with anorectal disorders were found to have a variety of rectal
abnormalities in which the defecography would be the imaging tool in demonstrating them.
