SUMMARY Spontaneous extraperitoneal “rupture” of the rectum is an extremely rare event not previously documented in the literature. We report the case of a 70 year-old lady who presented with intense lower abdominal pain. No predisposing or provoking factors were found in our patient despite detailed questioning apart from chronic constipation. A sudden increase of intraabdominal pressure was presumed to be the cause of rectal rupture. Key words: spontaneous, repture, perforation, rectum, sigmoid colon (EN)
