Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

796
Introduction
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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

345
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

738
Introduction
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 IV: Pharmacological Management

346
Upon diagnosis, managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) involves addressing several crucial aspects. The primary goals include resting the bowel, correcting malnutrition, and providing symptomatic relief. Resting the bowel may consist of medications to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Correcting malnutrition is essential, often requiring dietary adjustments and nutritional supplements. Symptomatic relief aims to ease pain, diarrhea, and other discomforts in IBD.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFP) are uncommon benign neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract.
  • While typically small and asymptomatic, IFPs can lead to significant complications such as intussusception and hemorrhage.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old female presented with severe abdominal pain and anemia (hemoglobin 36 g/L).
  • Imaging revealed a large tumor in the small intestine.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent a partial resection of the proximal jejunum.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of inflammatory fibroid polyp.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for IFPs to present as large, symptomatic masses.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing complications associated with gastrointestinal IFPs.
