Ibandronate is considered to be a safe drug, and the few reported side-effects in the digestive system are usually related to the upper gastrointestinal tract. Large bowel lesions associated to ibandronate use in humans have not been reported. We describe the case of a 52-year-old female with two episodes of lower abdominal pain after the intake of oral ibandronate. The second pain episode was followed by hematochezia with endoscopic and histological evidence of sigmoid ischemia. No other possible causes of colonic ischemia were found. After a short hospital admission, there was a complete clinical, endoscopic and histological recovery. Ibandronate was withdrawn and the patient reported no further gastrointestinal complaints. This is the first reported case of colon bleeding related to the use of Ibandronate.

- Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune disease characterized by symptoms of esophageal dysfunction and an eosinophil-dominated infiltration in the esophagus.
- The incidence of EoE is rising, requiring attention in various medical settings, leading to updated guidelines that focus on improved diagnosis and treatment strategies.
- Recommended treatments include proton pump inhibitors, topical steroids, dietary elimination, and esophageal dilation, with an emphasis on monitoring patients for treatment response and managing both inflammatory and structural aspects of the disease.
A case of paediatric seasonal eosinophilic oesophagitis.
Acta Gastroenterol Belg
January 2025
Pediatric gastroenterology, Ghent university hospital, Ghent, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic condition caused by eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus, mainly triggered by food and air allergens.
- A 4-year-old boy diagnosed with EoE showed improvement with topical steroids, and by age 7, he also developed a grass pollen allergy.
- Significant increases in eosinophil counts and pediatric symptom scores were noted from winter to spring, suggesting that environmental allergens may play a role in EoE, which could influence treatment timing and strategies during allergy seasons.
