Overview
Based on the radiological characteristics, rectal prolapse may be graded as internal rectal prolapse (recto-rectal intussusception and recto-anal intussusception) or external rectal prolapse (exteriorized rectal prolapse).
X Ray
Standard defecography is a diagnostic method to visualize internal rectal prolapse radiologically during the simulated defecation of a radio-opaque material (barium load) introduced into the rectum.[1]
| Oxford radiological rectal prolapse grading system:[1] | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade | Radiological characteristics | ||
| Internal rectal prolapse | Recto_rectal intussusception | I : High rectal | Descends no lower than proximal limit of the rectocele |
| II : Low rectal | Descends to the level of the rectocele, but not onto sphincter/anal canal | ||
| Recto_anal intussusception | III : High anal | Descends onto sphincter/anal canal | |
| IV : Low anal | Descends into sphincter/anal canal | ||
| External rectal prolapse | Exteriorized rectal prolapse | V : Overt rectal prolapse | Rectum protrudes from anus |
