  • Title: Spontaneous colonic perforation: a rare complication of collagenous colitis.
    Author: Cottreau J, Kelly R, Topp T, Costa A, Filter ER, Arnason T.
    Journal: Clin J Gastroenterol; 2016 Jun; 9(3):140-4. PubMed ID: 27178398.
    Abstract:
    Collagenous colitis is a clinicopathologic syndrome characterized by chronic watery diarrhea and unique histopathologic features. Spontaneous colonic perforation in the setting of collagenous colitis is a highly unusual complication, with only three cases reported in the literature to date. We present a fourth case and propose a potential pathologic mechanism for acute colonic perforation in this patient population.
