Radiologic findings in anorectal gonorrhea

K J Goodman. Gastrointest Radiol. .

Abstract

Gonorrhea is the most prevalent communicable disease in the United States and the incidence of anorectal involvement is high. Anorectal gonorrhea may be clinically elusive making the radiologic findings crucial in suggesting the diagnosis. Edematous rectal mucosa with limited distensibility and small ulcerations are the prominent radiologic findings.
