Hj. Freeman, Pouchitis-associated iritis (uveitis) following total proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-to-anal anastomosis in ulcerative colitis, CAN J GASTR, 15(2), 2001, pp. 131-133
A 26-year-old woman with ulcerarive colitis treated with a proctocolectomy
and ileal pouch-to-anal anastomosis developed an erosive and ulcerative pou
chitis. Although no ophthalmological manifestations were present before the
staged surgical procedures, iritis developed after appearance of the pouch
itis. Both conditions subsequently resolved with oral corticosteroids and m
etronidazole.
