Methamphetamine abuse can cause intestinal ischemia, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain and rectal bleeding. Physicians should consider this link, especially as methamphetamine use rises.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Toxicology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Methamphetamine abuse is a growing public health concern.
  • Intestinal ischemia is a serious condition affecting the digestive system.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old woman presented with acute right lower quadrant pain and hematochezia.
  • The patient had a history of methamphetamine abuse.

Findings:

  • Colonoscopy with biopsy confirmed segmental ischemic colitis.
  • Abdominal angiography ruled out thrombosis, vasculitis, and vasospasm.
  • The patient's condition resolved within 10 days without specific intervention for ischemia.

Implications:

  • Physicians must recognize the association between methamphetamine use and intestinal ischemia.
