Overview

A case of a young man treated by acute colectomy for severe colitis refractory to pharmacologic therapy is presented. Based on the presence of new atypical ulcers in his rectal stump, the disease was reclassified from ulcerative colitis to Crohn’s disease before subsequent reconstructive surgery. Ileorectal anastomosis was prefered to ileal pouch anal anastomosis.

Key words:
Crohn’s disease – colitis – colectomy

The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE „uniform requirements“ for biomedical papers.
