  ABSTRACT: Transanal intestinal evisceration is an extremely rare and dramatic digestive surgical emergency. The cases reported in the literature are few and concern much more elderly patients. We report the case of a 3-year-old boy admitted in very general poor condition to the emergency department, late for transanal evisceration complicating rectal prolapse that the parents tried to reduce. The fatal outcome of this case is probably related to strangulation and delay in consultation. We learn from this that parents should avoid inopportune prolapse reduction and early consultation.
