Ischemic colitis affects the left colon in elderly individuals and localization on the right side, especially in the cecum, is rare. We report a case of gangrenous ischemic colitis localized in the cecum of a patient undergoing hemodialysis.
A 73-year-old man had been undergoing hemodialysis for chronic renal failure caused by diabetic nephropathy. He experienced frequent vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed thickening of the cecal wall, poor enhancement, dilation of the cecum, and intrahepatic portal emphysema. No obvious abnormal findings were observed in the appendix. The patient was diagnosed with cecal necrosis and ileocecal resection was performed. Histopathological examination revealed gangrenous ischemic colitis of the cecum. He was discharged 12 days after surgery without postoperative complications.
It is important to consider the possibility of ischemic colitis of the right colon in the event of renal failure requiring dialysis, to ensure that opportunities for surgical intervention are not missed.
缺血性结肠炎在老年人中多见于左半结肠,而右侧结肠尤其是盲肠受累较为罕见。我们报告一例接受血液透析患者发生的坏疽性缺血性结肠炎,病变位于盲肠。
一名73岁男性因糖尿病肾病导致慢性肾衰竭,一直在接受血液透析治疗。他频繁出现呕吐、腹泻和腹痛。增强计算机断层扫描显示盲肠壁增厚、强化不佳、盲肠扩张以及肝内门静脉积气。阑尾未发现明显异常。患者被诊断为盲肠坏死,并接受了回盲部切除术。组织病理学检查显示为盲肠坏疽性缺血性结肠炎。术后12天患者出院,无术后并发症。
对于需要透析的肾衰竭患者,应考虑右半结肠缺血性结肠炎的可能性,以免错过手术干预时机。
