Abstract:
Mesenteric lymphatic malformations result from abnormal proliferation of disorganized mesenteric lymphatic channels. Sclerotherapy is often preferred over surgery as it is less invasive and has lower post-procedure morbidity. Sclerotherapy has been described as durable and effective with a low complication rate. We describe a serious complication from sclerotherapy of a lymphatic malformation extending from the mesentery through the bowel wall, highlighting the spectrum of this pathology and the need for multidisciplinary management of complex cases.

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...
