title: Symptomatic colitis as the initial presentation of Wegener's granulomatosis.
abstract: Wegener's granulomatosis is a multisystem disorder which rarely presents with gastrointestinal involvement. We report a case in which colitis was the reason for hospital admission. Diagnosis may be difficult unless clinical, serological and histopathological features are all considered.
