Aphthous ulcers in ischemic gastroenterocolitis: a case report.

Extensive occlusive mesenteric vascular disease is described in a 41-year-old man, resulting in aphthous ulcers of the stomach, small bowel, and colon. Ischemic disease was confirmed angiographically and ultimately by surgical intervention. No evidence of inflammatory bowel disease was detected. Occlusive vascular disease must be considered in the differential diagnosis of aphthous ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract. The risks of angiography may be warranted in the presence of atypical and unresponsive inflammatory bowel disease, especially when it coexists with vascular disease elsewhere.

Does intestinal resection heal the pyoderma gangrenosum of inflammatory bowel disease?

A retrospective study of nine patients with active pyoderma gangrenosum at the time of operation for inflammatory bowel disease showed two patterns of postoperative skin healing: 1) prompt healing within 2 months, occurred in five patients with moderate to severe inflammatory bowel disease. 2) skin disease persisted in four others, healing only after a year. Three of these patients had mild ulcerative colitis, and in them, the operation was carried out in the hope of curing crippling pyoderma gangrenosum. The fourth patient had only an intestinal bypass for ileitis. Our observations suggest that prompt skin healing may occur after surgery in patients with severe inflammatory bowel disease, but not necessarily in those with milder bowel disease or in those in whom some bowel disease persists.
