  • Title: The endoscopy corner: reversible ischemic colitis--correlation of colonoscopic and pathologic changes.
    Author: Forde KA, Lebwohl O, Wolff M, Voorhees AB.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1979 Aug; 72(2):182-5. PubMed ID: 474561.
    Abstract:
    Ischemic colitis is a well described complication following distal aortic replacement. The diagnosis is typically made by correlating clinical signs such as the occurrence of abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea with supporting radiographic changes. In this report, the diagnosis of ischemic colitis was confirmed on the basis of colonoscopic and associated histopathological findings. Colonoscopy is a useful technic in establishing the diagnosis of ischemic colitis, especially in patients whose clinical condition makes barium enema not feasible.
