    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Ischemic colitis is typically diagnosed in older individuals.
    • Colonic ischemia in younger populations is uncommon.

    Observation:

    • Four cases of transient ischemic colitis were identified in patients under 30 years of age.
    • These cases represent a rare presentation of ischemic colitis in a pediatric/young adult demographic.

    Findings:

    • The study reviews the literature on ischemic colitis in young patients.
    • Analysis of these rare cases provides insight into the condition's presentation in this demographic.

    Implications:

    • This review may aid clinicians in diagnosing and managing ischemic colitis in younger patients.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the specific risk factors and pathophysiology in this age group.
