Fecal incontinence due to retrorectal hematoma: Report of a case

We report herein a young patient with fecal and urinary incontinence due to a retrorectal hematoma. A 15-year-old male admitted with the complaints of being unable to walk or lie down on his back and no urinary bladder or anal sphincter control. His history revealed a pelvic trauma a few weeks before his admission. His complaints were mild at first and progressed over time. Preoperative studies revealed retrorectal hematoma and neurogenic bladder. Laparotomy was performed, and the hematoma was evacuated. In the early postoperative period, the patient's complaints decreased; he was able to lie down on his back and abduct/adduct his lower extremities, and he showed complete control of passage of the rectum contents. However, urinary bladder control was not yet achieved at it requires a longer period of time.
