Abstract
Tuttle first described a rectoanal intussusception in 1903 [1]. Since that time, several authors have described this anatomical condition in different ways — internal intussusception, internal procidentia, intrarectal prolapse, internal prolapse of the rectum, occult rectal prolapse — with the purpose of delineating a “circumferential descent (funnel-shaped infolding) of the rectal wall that does not pass beyond the anal canal”.
