Abstract

Most of the reported cases were developed in previously healthy middle to older aged women. No definite pathophysiology was proved but relation of inflammation and temporary increase of intraluminal pressure related with straining during posture change were proposed. We experienced one case developed in 65 year old otherwise healthy woman.
