Abstract:
The authors report 10 clinical, endoscopical and evolutive cases of ischemic colitis in young adults, selected from histological criterions, characteristic of the affection. The symptoms are relatively similar in all the observations with constant haemorrhage. The lesions predominate in the left colon. The etiological investigation is frequently positive. The lesions consecutive to sports and contraceptive pill are emphasized. It is important to notice, in most cases, a favourable evolution with total recuperation, histologically confirmed in 4 out of 5 patients after biopsy control.

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...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
