Q

IBD includes what diseases (include brief definition- inflammation type, location)

A

Idiopathic Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Crohn’s (CD):

  • granulomatous inflammation
  • affects any part of GIT mouth to anus (discontinuous)

Ulceratice colitis (UC):

  • nongranulomatous inflammation
  • limited to colon, always includes rectum, continous

Q

CD characteristic features (not Sxs)

A
  • sharply delimited: ileal + colonic ‘skip lesions’
  • transmural involvement (inflammation –> fibrosis)
  • non-necrotizing granulomas:
    i) mesentic fat wraps around bowel serosa = creeping fat
    ii) thick walls (edema, hypertrophy, firosis, inflammation) including fibrotic mesentary

-fissuring ulcers, fistula, stricture + upper GI involvement and extraintestinal manifestations
