title: [Post-radiation enteritis: double jejuno-colic stenosis].
abstract: Radiation enteritis is a common complication in patients receiving radiotherapy as a part of the treatment of abdominal malignancies. We report the case of a 57 year male patient with a renal carcinoma, who received radiotherapy and developed a double stenosis of the jejunum and the colon ten years later. He had to be treated surgically with resection of the affected segments. We would like to stress the possibility of this complication in patients who are to be treated with radiotherapy.
