Abstract
In this article, we discuss various specific colonic disorders that ma y present with acute symptoms and physical findings. The initial secti on describes some of the less common causes of obstructive colonic dil atation and is followed by a section on nonobstructive dilatation of t he colon. Several miscellaneous colonic disorders, including colonic p erforation, leukemic complications affecting the colon, and pseudomemb ranous colitis, are also reviewed.
