Summary
Hemorrhoid thrombosis is a rare but dangerous complication of hemorrhoid disease. The main symptom of the disease, causing patients to go to hospital is severe pain. This is caused by hypertonicity of the internal sphincter. The pain itself is expressed during sitting and defecating. Our report describes the case of 64-year-old patient admitted to the emergency room due to external thrombosed gangrenous hemorrhoids. He presented inability to defecate due to excessive pain, mild abdominal pain, discomfort and irritation withholding him from walking and sitting. In his medical records, only arterial hypertension was noted and treated pharmacologically for the last ten years. The patient previously was treated for 5 years in a non-operative manner, this included diet, sitz-baths, suppositories and banding of hemorrhoids in the outpatient room.
Following a short preoperative work up, the patient was qualified for emergent surgery. He received antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin with clavulanate potassium 1,2 g x 3 daily) and antithrombotic prophylaxis (nadroparine 0,4 ml x 1 daily s.c.). A Milligan-Morgan open procedure was performed as method of choice. The hemorrhoids were dissected from the sphincter mechanism and all were resected. All three quadrants were excised identically. Pedicles were then ligated, thus hemostasis was satisfactory. The course of surgery was uneventful, the wound healed without swelling, pain subsided and the patient was discharged on the 3rd post-operative day in good general condition.
Conclusions: Patients with thrombosis hemorrhoids should be operated on as soon as possible because of threatening septic complications, including Fournier gangrene. Antibiotic treatment and prophylaxis is necessary. Surgical treatment of patients with thrombosed hemorrhoids results in prompt and good therapeutic outcome.



Introduction
Thrombosis of external hemorrhoids are among the most acute anorectal diseases attended to in the emergency department or proctology outpatient clinic (1, 2). The main symptom of the disease, causing patients to go to hospital is severe pain. This is caused by hypertonicity of the internal sphincter. The pain itself is expressed during sitting and defecating, however it is also often present during standing and walking in seriously advanced states. Further symptoms accompanying large external thrombosed hemorrhoids are bleeding, failure to pass stool, constipation, swelling, mild discomfort, irritation, abdominal pain and mild fever (1-3).
Anatomically hemorrhoids are submucosal vascularized cushions lined in three columns around the anal canal. We distinguish three positions – right anterior, right posterior and left lateral. It’s important to understand that their presence is physiological and they play a considerable role of protecting the anal sphincter and preventing incontinence by propagating the closure of the anal canal during increased abdominal pressure (3-5). Some authors presume that hemorrhoids also differentiate stool, from liquid and gas residing in the anal canal (3, 4, 6).
Case report
A 64-year-old male patient was admitted to the Department through the emergency room due to severe pain caused by giant thrombosed external hemorrhoids (grade IV) (fig. 1). He presented inability to defecate due to excessive pain, mild abdominal pain, discomfort and irritation withholding him from walking and sitting. Fever was not noted at the time being. Bleeding was reported in past history but not observed during per rectum examination. His medical history, besides arterial hypertension treated pharmacologically for the last ten years, recorded no other comorbidities. Though during history taking the patient admitted to a 5 year non-operative treatment (diet, sitz-baths, suppositories and banding) of hemorrhoids in the outpatient room.
