[The clinicomorphological characterization of segmental lesion in ulcerous colitis]
Abstract:
The authors analyzed the clinical picture in 18 patients with distal lesion of the colon and an inflammatory focus in the cecum (segmentary lesion), and five patients with distal lesion of the colon revealed with endoscopy and pathomorphological signs of inflammation in visually intact cecum. The analysis shows that in a range of cases the extent of lesion in ulcerous colitis (UC) cannot be determined correctly with colonoscopy. An apparent segmentary character of lesion (inflammation in the distal colon and an inflammatory focus in the cecum) is an additional criterion of unfavorable prognosis of transformation into disseminated UC forms. Such patients need application of the same treatment regimens as in patients with disseminated UC forms.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
