  • Title: Small bowel stricture due to vascular compromise: a late complication of Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
    Author: Lipsett J, Byard RW.
    Journal: Pediatr Pathol Lab Med; 1995; 15(2):333-40. PubMed ID: 8597821.
    Abstract:
    Henoch-Schönlein purpura is a multisystem disorder of unknown etiology that primarily affects children. Gastrointestinal manifestations are common in the acute, active phase with 2 to 5% of patients developing significant lesions requiring surgical intervention. Late complications are unusual and infrequently documented. We report a case of chronic small bowel obstruction due to an ischemic stricture of the distal ileum presenting 3 months after an episode of Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
