Abstract
Two cases of idiopathic colitis affecting the sigmoid colon in elderly patients with underlying diverticulosis are presented. Segmental rese ction has permitted close review of the histopathology in this syndrom e which demonstrates considerable similarity to changes seen in idiopa thic ulcerative colitis. The reported experience with this syndrome an d its clinical features are reviewed.
