Abstract:
56-year-old Korean male had complained of abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea who showed a wide area of isehemic colitis above obstructing colon cance due to distention. Ischemic lesions of the distended colon are clinically important because it so often remain unrecognized and can result in anastomotic leakage, fecal fistula and peritonitis after operation. Involvement of the colon by ischemic damage is usually segmental or localized. We experienced unusual case of iachemic colitis proximal to obstructive colon cancer in which the entire colon except ileocecal region was affected. We reported a case with literature review.
