Collagenous colitis as a possible cause of toxic megacolon.

S C Fitzgerald1, S Conlon, E Leen, T N Walsh.   

Abstract

Collagenous colitis is a microscopic colitis characterized by normal appearing colonic mucosa on endoscopy. It is regarded as a clinically benign disease which rarely results in serious complications. We report a case of toxic megacolon occurring in a patient with collagenous colitis. This is the first reported case of toxic megacolon occurring in this subset of patients.
