- Authors
Kim, Brian; Taye, Hesham; Chaput, Kimberly Jegel
- Abstract
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.
