Abstract

Buerger's disease, or thromboangiitis obliterans, is characterized by occlusive segmental and often multiple inflammatory lesions of arteries and superficial veins with thrombosis and recanalization of the affected vessels. Involvement of the colon is extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of colon ischemia in a patient diagnosed previously as Buerger's disease

Keywords

İskemik kolitin nadir bir nedeni: Buerger's hastalığı

Abstract

Buerger's hastalığı ya da diğer adıyla tromboanjitis obliterans etkilenen damarlarda tromboz ve rekanalizasyonlarla giden bir hastalık olup, arter ve süperfisyal venlerde segmental okluzif ve multipl inflamatuvar lezyonlarla karakterizedir. Kolonik etkilenme çok nadir görülmektedir. Burada daha önce Buerger's hastalığı tanısı ile takip edilmekte olan hastada gelişen iskemik kolit tablosunu tartışmayı amaçladık.
