The association of complete perineal tear and rectal prolapse is less reported in literature, although isolated complete perineal tear and the combinations of vaginal and rectal prolapse are not so unusual, where multiparity and unsupervised home deliveries are quiet common. An interesting case of long standing complete perineal tear with complete rectal prolapse is reported in a 60 years old lady along with review of literature, discussing the management and follow-up of the condition.
