title: [Pouchitis, on the basis of a single observation].
abstract: The observing of pouchitis at a patient with ulcerative colitis with onset 4 months after the closing of the ileostoma, protecting the reservoir and with good response to metronidazole, was the reason for performing a literature review of the modern problems of this complication. The suspected pre-, intra- and perioperative factors, taking part in its pathogenesis, its clinical features and treatment are reviewed. We share most authors' opinion that this complication probably is connected with the disease.
