“…It appears around the third decade of life, increases with age, is maximal between 45 and 65 years of age, and then decreases [1,2] . This is consistent with the data from our study where the age group between 46 and 65 years was the majority with a rate of 52%; the sex ratio in our study was 1.95 with a clear male predominance, which is consistent with the results of the series by Mbonicura et al [3] where the sex ratio was M/F=2.3, but the different studies estimate an equivalent frequency in both sexes [1] . This is a condition for which the incriminating or aggravating risk factors are numerous and diverse; they have a common denominator which is the increase in abdominal pressure which would slow down the blood reflux in the upper rectal vein, the main favouring factors are transit disorders, in particular constipation, a sedentary lifestyle, consumption of spicy foods, coffee, alcohol, low socioeconomic level as well as urban geographical origin; which was the case for the majority of the patients in our series [1,4] .…”

“…The clinical manifestations most frequently found and revealing of the disease in our series were rectal discharge usually contemporaneous with defecation and terminal, proctalgia of the burning type and often occurring at the time of defecation testifying either to a fluxionary crisis or thrombosis, and anal swelling, these physical signs are those reported in the studies of Mbonicura et al [3] , Riss et al [7] , Pigot et al [8] , Zeitoun et al [1] with differences in frequency between these series which are essentially due to recruitment bias.…”

“…On the other hand, the mean length of hospitalization in our series was short compared with that reported by Mbonicura JC, which was 93.6 days [24]. This difference could be explained by the fact that 90% of our patients were not eligi-ble for skin grafting and that dressings were done on an outpatient basis in the event of good clinical and local evolution.…”
