A patient with incarcerated Crohn's appendicitis and a spigelian hernia is presented, representing the challenge in diagnosis, incision choice, and choice of definitive surgical procedure. While it is unlikely that the report of such a patient's course will make prospective recognition of this rare entity more likely, a systematic approach to this patient has allowed a satisfactory result with minimal complications.

Selective IgA Deficiency and Aseptic Liver Abscess as Initial Indicators of Crohn's Disease in a Young Woman: A Case Study.
Am J Case Rep

Department of Infectious Diseases, Hôpitaux Civils de Colmar, Colmar, France.
BACKGROUND Hepatic lesion in a young woman can lead to multiple diagnostic hypotheses, mainly infection and tumor. Crohn's disease (CD) is hardly evoked by clinicians but is reportedly associated with liver damage, especially diffuse granulomas and aseptic abscess. IgA deficiency has been associated with celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease, including CD.

Introduction: Colonic actinomycosis is an uncommon chronic infection associated with granulomatous inflammation resulting multiple abscesses and sinuses. Common modes of presentation include weight loss, malaise, abdominal pain, and abdominal mass, which might mimic neoplasia.
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old female presented with painful lump in right iliac fossa (RIF) for 3 weeks and acute complete bowel obstruction for 3 days.
The nexus between appendicitis and chronic inflammatory bowel diseases: Unraveling an intriguing association.

Appendicitis is 1 of the most frequent diseases worldwide. In general, it is treated with appendectomy, which, in almost all cases, leads to the healing of the disease and averts acute complications. However, only limited data regarding long-term sequalae, including inflammatory bowel diseases following appendicitis are available.

Article Synopsis
- The paper aims to increase awareness of microscopic colitis (MC), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, focusing on its recognition, risk factors, diagnosis, management, and complications.
- MC is characterized by nonspecific symptoms like watery diarrhea, which makes diagnosis challenging, and the average onset age is around 62-65 years, with women being more affected.
- Risk factors for MC include lifestyle factors like smoking and alcohol consumption, various medications, and other health conditions; treatment typically involves budesonide or other therapies tailored to individual cases.
Investigating the causal relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and simple appendicitis using Mendelian randomization.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the unclear relationship between simple appendicitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using Mendelian randomization (MR) to analyze genetic data from a large sample of patients and controls.* -
- The findings reveal that IBD is linked to a lower risk of developing simple appendicitis, with similar results observed for both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis patients.* -
- In contrast, no significant causal connection was found between simple appendicitis and the likelihood of developing IBD, indicating that IBD may negatively influence the occurrence of simple appendicitis.*
