Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is common in adults; however, it is thought to be rare in children. The etiology and exact pathogenesis of this condition are poorly understood. The main presenting feature of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is rectal bleeding, but the clinical diagnosis and treatment remain challenging, particularly in pediatric patients. We present two pediatric patients with solitary rectal ulcer syndrome, who were treated surgically, and remain asymptomatic after the procedures. Clinicians should be aware of this problem in order to avoid delayed diagnosis and management.
孤立性直肠溃疡综合征在成人中很常见；然而，在儿童中被认为是罕见的。这种疾病的病因和确切发病机制尚不清楚。孤立性直肠溃疡综合征的主要表现特征是直肠出血，但临床诊断和治疗仍然具有挑战性，尤其是在儿科患者中。我们报告了两名患有孤立性直肠溃疡综合征的儿科患者，他们接受了手术治疗，术后仍无症状。临床医生应意识到这个问题，以避免延误诊断和治疗。
