Postcolectomy ileitis.
A case is presented of a patient who had classic ulcerative colitis, both clinically and on detailed pathologic study, that underwent an ileo-pouch anal anastomosis and then developed pouchitis followed by ileitis. The patient has done fairly well on routine medications, but this case represents ileitis developing post colectomy that did not exist previous to colectomy and raises the questions for the following presentations and discussions in this workshop symposium.
