Giant postinflammatory polyps in ulcerative colitis can cause severe rectal bleeding. Endoscopic resection of these polyps effectively resolved symptoms in a patient unresponsive to medical therapy, offering prolonged relief.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Endoscopy

Background:

  • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Protracted rectal bleeding is a serious complication of UC.
  • Medical management of UC-related bleeding can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A patient with UC experienced severe rectal bleeding unresponsive to medical therapy.
  • Multiple giant postinflammatory polyps were identified as the cause.
  • The patient required multiple blood transfusions due to bleeding.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic resection of the giant postinflammatory polyps was performed.
  • The procedure resulted in complete resolution of rectal bleeding.
  • Symptomatic improvement was sustained during a prolonged follow-up period.

Implications:

  • Postinflammatory polyps can cause significant gastrointestinal bleeding in UC patients.
  • Endoscopic polypectomy is a safe and effective treatment option for such cases.
  • This approach offers a viable alternative for patients refractory to medical management.
