Spontaneous rupture of protruding rectal wall with evisceration is a rare complication of rectal prolapse. We hereby present the case of a woman with a large prolapse of the rectum into which small intestine descended and strangulated. The evisceration became clear after incision of the prolapse taken for a large anal haematoma.
