Obstructive Ileocolitis in Patients With Obstructed Colorectal Cancer – A Matched Case Control Study

摘要

PurposeObstructive ileocolitis is an ulcero-inflammatory condition which typically occurs in the ileum or colon proximal to an obstructing colorectal lesion. If left unresolved, it often leads to intestinal perforation. We present a matched case control study of patients with obstructive ileocolitis caused by colorectal cancer to determine if any factors can predict this condition.
