    A woman developed ischemic colitis after an enema, with parenteral contraceptives possibly contributing. This is the first case of enema-induced ischemic colitis in a patient without prior health issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Ischemic colitis is a condition where blood flow to the colon is reduced, leading to inflammation and damage.
    • Cleansing enemas are commonly used for medical procedures but can pose risks.

    Observation:

    • A 42-year-old woman experienced ischemic colitis symptoms immediately following a cleansing enema.
    • The patient had been undergoing parenteral contraceptive treatment for one year prior to the event.

    Findings:

    • This case represents the first documented instance of ischemic colitis causally linked to a cleansing enema in an individual without pre-existing medical conditions.
    • Parenteral contraceptive use was identified as a potential predisposing factor.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential, previously unrecognized risk associated with cleansing enemas, particularly in patients using parenteral contraceptives.
