Abstract:
From June 2001 to March 2004, Military Hospital 108 had performed flexible colonoscopy on 1056 subjects and had detected 18 cases (12 males, 6 females) of atypical ulcerous colitis. Clinical manifestations: bleeding stool, irregular diarrhoea or constifution, abdomen pain, weight loss... were most usual signs. Paraclinical signs occurred prevalently only in patients with numberous acute lesions in colon. 15/18 patients (83.4%) tolarated corticoid and salazopirin. 13/15 patients recovered completely without recurrence and without colon damage in colonoscopy. 5/18 patients (27.7%) was in acute stage.
