Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), primarily ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, typically follow a chronic, relapsing course.
  • These chronic conditions can present acutely, leading to gastrointestinal emergencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the urgent manifestations of IBD.
  • To emphasize the critical nature of intestinal emergencies in IBD.
  • To underscore the importance of timely management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentations of IBD.
  • Analysis of urgent intestinal and extraintestinal manifestations.
  • Discussion of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Main Results:

  • IBD emergencies encompass both intestinal (obstruction, abscess, perforation, hemorrhage) and extraintestinal (ocular, rheumatologic, hematologic, urologic) complications.
  • Intestinal emergencies are frequently severe and life-threatening.

Conclusions:

  • Early diagnosis is paramount for effective management of IBD emergencies.
  • Judicious and timely application of medical and surgical therapies is essential for successful outcomes in acute IBD complications.
