Abstract
The patient’s colitis had been diagnosed at 10 years of age, and after 18 years of medical treatment, her diarrhea was still disabling (Day/Night = 8/1). Sigmoidoscopy revealed chronic changes of proctocolitis without obvious ulceration. A biopsy showed histological changes consistent with chronic ulcerative colitis. Colonoscopy was not performed (1974). A barium enema had demonstrated a smooth stricture of the transverse colon.
