Ischemic proctosigmoiditis due to retroperitoneal hematoma

Gastrointestinal ischemia is caused by ischemic colitis in 50–60% of cases and is associated with high morbidity and mortality among patients. Ischemic proctosigmoiditis is a very rare disorder with only few cases reported. Due to collateral blood supply the rectum is only affected in 2–5% of all ca...

Sumario:Gastrointestinal ischemia is caused by ischemic colitis in 50–60% of cases and is associated with high morbidity and mortality among patients. Ischemic proctosigmoiditis is a very rare disorder with only few cases reported. Due to collateral blood supply the rectum is only affected in 2–5% of all cases of ischemic colitis. We report a rare case of ischemic proctosigmoiditis caused by a retroperitoneal hematoma due to a pelvic fracture.
