Lecture 8: Inflammatory Bowel Disease Flashcards
What are 4 extraintestinal manifestations of the skin associated with IBD?
- Erythema nodosum
- Apthous (oral) ulcers
- Pyoderma gangrenosum
- Cutaneous CD vasculitis
What are 4 extraintestinal manifestations of the eye associated with IBD?
- Conjunctivitis
- Episcleritis
- Iritis
- Uveitis
What are 5 extraintestinal manifestations of the liver associated with IBD?
- Fatty liver
- Pericholangitis (intrahepatic sclerosis cholangitis)
- Primary Sclerosis Cholangitis
- Cholangiocarcinoma
- Chronic hepatitis
Which extraintestinal manifestation of the kidney is associated specifically with Chron Disease?
Nephrolithiasis w/ urate or calcium oxalate stones
What are some of the hematologic extraintestinal manifestations associated with IBD?
- Hemolytic anemia
- Phlebitis
- Thromboembolic events (DVT)
- Pulmonary embolus (PE)
Can infectious enterocolitis be distinguished clinically and endoscopically from UC?
- NO!
- Need stool studies and biopsy
What are some diseases other than Chron Disease that have non-caseating granulomas?
- Sarcoid
- PBC
- Vasculidites (giant cell arteritis, “Wegener’s”)
- Fungus
- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Erythema nodosum is an extraintestinal manifestation most commonly seen in which form of IBD?
UC > CD
What are some of the potential complications associated with UC?
- Toxic megacolon
- Colonic perforation
- Cancer risk –> related to extent and duration of colitis
Which procedure before the age of 20 is associated w/ reduced risk for developing UC?
Appendectomy
How does location of UC affect the risk of developing colon cancer?
Increased risk in disease proximal to rectum
What is the recommendation for colonoscopies in a person w/ UC?
Every 1-2 years, beginning 8 years after diagnosis
What is the key diagnostic modality used for diagnosis of UC?
How will the mucosal surface appear?
- Sigmoidoscopy
- Edematous, friable, mucopus, and eroded
Which type of IBD can present with acute ileitis sometimes mimicking appendicitis?
Chron Disease
Anorectal fissure, fistulas and abscesses are all associated with what form of IBD?
Chron Disease
Patients with Chron Disease are at risk for what type of cancers?
- Colonic carcinoma
- Lymphoma and Small Bowel Adenocarinoma (both are rare)
Which imaging modality is usually performed first with suspect Chron Disease?
Colonoscopy –> to evaluate the colon and terminal ileum and to obtain mucosal biopsies
What are the typical endoscopic findings in someone with Chron Disease?
- Apthoid linear or stellate ulcers
- Strictures
- Segmental involvement or normal-appearing mucosa adjacent to inflammed mucosa
*Granulomas on biopsy are highly suggestive of Chron disease
In patients with fulminant disease associated with UC, which imaging modality should not be performed?
Why not?
Colonoscopy due to risk of perforation
In patients with severe UC, barium enemas may precipitate which complication?
Otherwise this imaging modality will show what characterisitc sign?
- Toxic megacolon
- Otherwise show –> “lead pipe” = loss of haustra in UC
