title: [Acute allergic colitis caused by ACTH].
abstract: The case of a woman suffering from urticaria of the colon is reported. The original endoscopic images were described and its allergic (corticotrophin) origin was documented through clinical arguments and in vivo and in vitro tests. The term acute allergic colitis seems to be more suitable taking into account the distribution, the cause and the development of this disease.
