Refractory diverticular colitis with progressive ulcerative colitis-like changes extending to the rectum
Digestive Endoscopy, 06/24/09

Yamane T et al. - A 68-year-old man visited department because of diarrhea and bloody stools. Colonoscopy revealed diverticula scattered in the sigmoid colon with localized mucosal edema and reddening. The mucosa became somewhat rough 9 months later, and had an erosive, ulcerative colitis (UC)-like appearance after a further 6 months, with these changes extending to the rectum. These findings led to a diagnosis of diverticular colitis (DC) with UC-like changes.
