| contents | Lower Digestive Tract Bleeding in a Patient with Behçet’s Disease: A Case Report Gustavo R. Cantillo-Nazzar Angélica Tobón Andrés Ardila-Hani Medicina melena ileitis Colombia vasculitis Behçet’s syndrome Behçet’s disease is a chronic, multisystemic, and relapsing inflammatory pathology that frequently manifests with oral and genital ulcers and ocular and skin lesions. It rarely exhibits gastrointestinal involvement, which varies depending on the affected gastrointestinal segment; these have in common the predominance of ulcerated lesions and, consequently, a greater risk of bleeding from the digestive tract. A clinical case of a 28-year-old female patient who consulted for a clinical picture of melenic stools and oral ulcers is described. As a crucial clinical history, she had been diagnosed with Behçet’s disease since adolescence, associated with severe gastrointestinal complications. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed with findings of antral erythematous gastropathy and a colonoscopy with a report of ulcerated ileitis. Treatment with azathioprine and corticosteroids was indicated, significantly improving the clinical picture. 2023 otro 0120-9957 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=337779447010 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3377/337779447010/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3377/337779447010/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3377/337779447010/337779447010.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3377/337779447010/movil 10.22516/25007440.878 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3377 Revista Colombiana de Gastroenterología application/pdf Asociación Colombiana de Gastroenterologia Revista Colombiana de Gastroenterología (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.38 |
