Postcolectomy enteritis is characterized by diffuse small bowel inflammatory changes following colectomy for medically refractory ulcerative colitis. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, massive intestinal bleeding, intestinal perforation, and high stoma output. While the exact pathogenesis is unknown, immune dysregulation with increased cytokine and inflammatory cell response is suspected to lead to the inflammatory response. Therefore, immunosuppressive medications are the mainstay for treatment. All cases to date have been described in adult patients. We present a case of postcolectomy enteritis in a pediatric patient who improved without significant intervention.

We report the rare entity of ulcerative colitis-related severe enteritis (UCRSE) following colectomy in a child. This entity has been described primarily in adults and is characterised by diffuse enteritis with histology identical to ulcerative colitis (UC). The mainstay treatment is steroids and in recent years anti-tumour necrosis factor agents.

Background: Post-colectomy pan-enteritis in ulcerative colitis (UC) is very rare, but it is often severe and fatal. We present a case of massive bleeding and perforation due to post-colectomy pan-enteritis, which showed a significant response to biologics in a UC patient.
Case Presentation: A 30-year-old woman with a 5-month history of pancolitis UC underwent subtotal colectomy with ileostomy and mucosal fistula for refractory UC.
Case report: Successful treatment of ulcerative colitis-related post-colectomy enteritis refractory to multiple therapies with ustekinumab.

Ulcerative colitis-related severe post-colectomy enteritis is a rare condition. A few cases have undergone successful treatment with corticosteroids, Cyclosporine, Azathioprine, and Infliximab. We aim to evaluate the treatment outcome of ustekinumab in this rare case.

Objective Diffuse mucosal inflammation in the duodenum, distinct from peptic ulcer disease, has been repeatedly reported in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). The pathogenesis of this complication remains uncertain; however, colectomy for medically refractory UC appears to trigger duodenitis. Cases in which colectomy was performed for UC were analyzed to characterize UC-related duodenitis after colectomy.
