Abstract

Anorectal foreign bodies are mostly due to insertion through anus. Rarely they reach the rectum via the oral route. They are usually inserted for sexual1 or medical (diagnostic or therapeutic) purposes or could be due to child abuse or criminal assault2 . Cylindrical objects are more common since they can be easily inserted. They can cause anorectal trauma and rarely serious complications like perforation. Removal of large foreign bodies often requires surgery. Here we present a rare case of accidental trans-anal introduction of a huge foreign body (beer bottle) into the rectum.
