ABSTRACT
Foreign bodies in the rectum [FBR] are not rare. In the majority of cases these are self inserted by children and young adults as a result of sexual gratification, in psychiatric patients or inserted forcibly in victims of assault. Due of vague history, varied symptomatology and the variety of objects including different sizes and shapes, these often pose management problems. Management depends on the characteristics of the object and on the presence of peritonitis or pelvic abscess. Approach to management should be stepwise. Only three cases of cattle horn in rectum have been described so far; we report herewith on a fourth one. We describe three patients with different FBR treated in our institution along with review of the relevant literature
