Abstract:A 34-year-old male presented with spontaneous rectal pain. He was diagnosed with a posterior rectal wall abscess 7 cm proximal to the anal verge that was confirmed on an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) pelvis. This abscess was drained through a transrectal route. Rectal wall abscess is an exceedingly rare pathology compared to perianal abscess; therefore, this case highlights the key aspects of its management.
