Probable Crohn's colitis mimicking ischaemic colitis in a young adult.
The features on barium enema of ischaemic colitis is characteristic and the radiological sign of "thumb printing" thought to be almost pathognomonic of the condition. We report a case of inflammatory bowel disease, probably Crohn's disease mimicking these radiological features. This has not to our knowledge been previously documented.
