Long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause lower gastrointestinal problems, including colonic ulcerations. Promptly stopping NSAID use can lead to symptom resolution and ulcer healing.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is common for pain management.
  • NSAID-induced gastrointestinal damage is typically associated with the upper GI tract.

Observation:

  • A 67-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain, diarrhea, weakness, and weight loss.
  • Physical examination revealed anemia, low albumin, and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
  • Abdominal ultrasound showed colonic wall thickening and fluid-filled loops.

Findings:

  • Colonoscopy revealed extensive ulcerations from the sigmoid colon to the ileum.
  • Histology confirmed nonspecific ileocolitis.
  • Cessation of NSAID intake led to rapid symptom improvement and ulcer healing.

Implications:

  • NSAID-induced ileocolitis is a significant cause of lower gastrointestinal ulcerations.
  • Physicians should consider NSAID abuse in patients with unexplained lower GI symptoms.
  • Thorough drug history is crucial for diagnosing NSAID-induced enterocolopathy.
