Description
Abstract
Ischemic bowel disease is a common disease of bleeding in the lower digestive tract. There are many risk
factors for ischemic bowel disease. Abdominal pain, bloody stool and diarrhea were often the triad of clinical
manifestations. The endoscopic appearance included colonic mucosal edema and erosion; submucosal
hemorrhage, mucosal necrosis, mucosal shedding, ulcer formation et al. But in rare cases its manifestations are
highly variable, which makes clinical diagnosis challenging. Colonoscopy and pathology are the keys to diagnosis.
We present a case of “mass-forming” variant of ischemic colitis following COVID infection.
Keywords Ischemic bowel disease, Ischemic colitis, COVID, Mass-forming
