Ischemic colitis is a common form of bowel ischemia typically associated with vasculopathy in advanced age. Although some predisposing factors can increase the risk of developing ischemic colitis, the disease is relatively uncommon in young adults. Furthermore, cases of ischemic colitis associated with pregnancy are exceedingly rare. We present a young woman with severe ischemic colitis after vaginal delivery that ultimately led to sigmoid resection due to persistent stricturing.
缺血性结肠炎是肠道缺血的一种常见形式,通常与老年血管病变有关。虽然一些诱发因素会增加患缺血性结肠炎的风险,但该疾病在年轻成年人中相对不常见。此外,与妊娠相关的缺血性结肠炎病例极为罕见。我们报告了一名年轻女性,她在阴道分娩后发生了严重的缺血性结肠炎,最终因持续性狭窄而导致乙状结肠切除术。
