Severe ileocecal inflammatory syndrome in adult patients with cystic fibrosis.
Zeitschrift Für Gastroenterologie 2019 March
The relevance of gastrointestinal manifestations of cystic fibrosis (CF) is increasing due to an improved life expectancy. We report on 2 adult patients with prior lung transplantation who presented with a severe inflammatory disorder of the ileocecal region. One patient underwent ileocecal resection; the second patient died after emergency surgery for intestinal perforation. Both cases did not show typical signs of CF-related distal intestinal obstruction syndrome or extensive fibrosing colonopathy. However, the clinical and histopathological findings revealed CF-induced inflammatory alterations of the intestinal mucosa. Thus, these cases illustrate a further CF-related bowel disorder, which can be especially relevant in long-term CF survivors.
