AB  - This is the first case report of traumatic rectal prolapse in common marmoset monkeys. In both of two cases, patients had two risk factors proposed in human cases: female and multiparous. In addition, both animals had suffered from diarrhea prior to the incidence, suggesting that diarrhea is another risk factor of rectal prolapse in this species. In one case, the prolapsed rectum was bitten by own family members and the extensive breeding obliged veterinarian to euthanize the patient. Hence, the marmoset was euthanized. In the other case, the prolapsed rectum was bitten by own family members but in this case surgical treatment, enterorrhaphy was performed and the treated animal survived until she was subjected to an experiment two years later.
