The first pediatric collagenous colitis case presented with chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain. Steroids offered temporary symptom relief and reduced the collagen band.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Gastrointestinal Pathology

Background:

  • Collagenous colitis is a rare cause of chronic diarrhea, typically diagnosed in adults.
  • Pediatric cases are exceptionally uncommon, with limited understanding of its presentation and management in children.

Observation:

  • A child presented with prolonged watery diarrhea and abdominal pain.
  • Standard small bowel investigations and macroscopic colonic examination revealed no abnormalities.

Findings:

  • Histological examination of the colon confirmed collagenous colitis, characterized by a thickened subepithelial collagen band.
  • Corticosteroid therapy provided temporary relief from diarrhea and transiently reduced the collagenous deposit.

Implications:

  • This case highlights collagenous colitis as a potential diagnosis in children with unexplained chronic diarrhea.
