Background: Bleeding per rectum in children is a common cause of hospital attendance for the paediatric patients. We tried to look for the causes of the same in a tertiary care center on out patients basis so that proper care can be instituted. Methods: We have enrolled 211 consecutive patients in our OPD from 1- 12 years of age and tabulated the cause. We divided the patients in two groups based on their stool. Proper history taking and examination done, some patients required special investigations like endoscopy and Meckel’s scan.
