Total colonic ischemia.

G H Welch, M G Shearer, C W Imrie

Diseases of the Colon and Rectum

|June 1, 1986

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Total ischemic colitis, affecting the entire colon, is rare due to its dual blood supply. This study presents three cases, identifying specific precipitating causes for this unusual pattern of colonic ischemia.

Background:

Ischemic colitis typically affects watershed areas of the colon due to its dual blood supply.
Total colonic involvement in ischemic events is considered uncommon.

Observation:

Presents three distinct cases of total ischemic colitis.
Highlights the unusual presentation of ischemia affecting the entire colon.

Findings:

Each patient case demonstrated a specific precipitating cause for the widespread colonic ischemia.
The identified causes explain the unusual distribution of the ischemic process.

Implications:

Understanding precipitating factors is crucial for diagnosing and managing rare cases of total ischemic colitis.

This case series may inform clinical approaches to colonic ischemia with atypical patterns.
