Abstract:
Radiation enteritis (RE) is a frequent complication in patients who undergo pelvic irradiation, and this condition has been increasingly diagnosed. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is being developed in recent years, and it has remarkable curative effect for the clostridium and inflammatory bowel disease. Herein, we present a case of recurrent RE in a 59-year-old woman with RE 18 years after radiotherapy for cervical carcinoma. Fecal microbiota transplantation therapy with intestinal flora from her 18-year-old son was applied and was successful in relieving the symptoms. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first case report of FMT in a patient with RE.
