AI Article Synopsis

  • A 22-year-old patient with Crohn's disease developed an enterovenous fistula, leading to jaundice.
  • Ultrasound and CT scans indicated the presence of gas and barium in the liver, suggesting complications.
  • Pathological analysis confirmed a fistula between the inflamed ileum and the superior mesenteric vein, highlighting a potentially serious complication of Crohn's disease.

Article Abstract

We report a case of enterovenous fistula in a young 22-year-old patient with Crohn's disease associated with jaundice. Ultrasound and computed tomography showed stationary gaz and barium in the liver. Pathological examination showed a fistula between the lumen of the inflamed segment of the ileum and the superior mesenteric venous system. This unusual finding in Crohn's disease may be a severe complication.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease that includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Studies found that 40-60% of women diagnosed with IBD have sexual dysfunction (SD).

Aims: To determine SD and associated factors in women with IBD.

Telocytes, a novel mesenchymal cell population, are characterized by their distinctive long and slender projections known as telopodes and have garnered significant interest since their formal introduction to the literature in 2010. These cells have been identified in various tissues, including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where they are suggested to play important roles in maintaining structural integrity, immune modulation, and barrier function. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis.

Background: There is an increased maturation of laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis techniques. However, research on its application for small bowel stoma reversal in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) is limited. Therefore, in this study, we compared the perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic intracorporeal ileostomy reversal (LIIR) and open ileostomy reversal (OIR).

Disseminated Chickenpox Following Live Varicella Vaccination in a Crohn's Disease Patient on Combination Immunosuppression.

Novel therapeutics used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease pose an increased risk of viral reactivation in patients. We present a case of a patient with refractory Crohn's disease (CD) who developed primary varicella (chickenpox) of a vaccine-viral strain after receiving combination immunosuppression with high-dose corticosteroids, tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi), and a Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi) in the hospital. While this patient recovered and did not experience long term adverse effects, her case provides an opportunity for improvement.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a non-specific inflammatory disease of digestive tract, primarily manifesting as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). The precise etiology of IBD remains elusive. The interplay of genetic factors, environmental influences, and intestinal microbiota contributes to the establishment of an uncontrolled immune environment within the intestine, which can progressively lead to atypical hyperplasia and ultimately to malignancy over a long period.
