  • Title: Colonic complication of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
    Author: Gavan DR, Hendry GM.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 1994 May; 67(797):449-52. PubMed ID: 8193890.
    Abstract:
    We present four unusual colonic complications of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia which occurred during the early induction period of chemotherapy. These included a transverse colitis, a haemorrhagic proctitis, a caeco-colic intussusception and an ileo-colic intussusception complicating typhlitis. Although complications are rare, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in children undergoing chemotherapy.
