A Clinical Study of 4 Cases of Obstructive Colitis

The term “obstructive colitis” refers to ulceroinflammatory lesions occurring in the colon proximal to an obstructive or potentially obstructive lesion. We present 4 cases of obstructive colitis associated with colorectal carcinoma. In all 4 cases, we had difficulty correctly diagnosing the mucosal...

Zusammenfassung:The term “obstructive colitis” refers to ulceroinflammatory lesions occurring in the colon proximal to an obstructive or potentially obstructive lesion. We present 4 cases of obstructive colitis associated with colorectal carcinoma. In all 4 cases, we had difficulty correctly diagnosing the mucosal colon condition and the degree of inflammation observing serosa during surgery. Our cases suggest that the ulceroinflammatory lesion in colonic musosa may be a reversible change, possibly enabling construction of a temporary colostomy to preserve the colon in many few cases. We thus consider that surgical strategies for obstructive colitis require greater analysis.
