title: Segmental colitis associated with diverticular disease and other IBD look-alikes.
abstract: Segmental colitis associated with diverticular disease is an inflammatory disorder that bears close clinical and histopathologic similarities to idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease. Comparison with other inflammatory bowel disease-like disorders, such as blind-ended pouches in ulcerative colitis, chronic granulomatous appendicitis, and delayed-surgery appendicitis, affords intriguing analogies and potential clues to its pathogenesis.
