Abstract

ABSTRACT It has been recently shown that inflammatory bowel disease may follow an episode of acute complicated diverticulitis. We report 3 cases of ulcerative colitis after acute complicated diverticulitis that required surgery. All cases occurred in elderly patients with moderate-to-severe disease and 1 individual who also received treatment with biologics. These cases highlight the need for older patients to be strictly monitored after an episode of perforated diverticulitis requiring surgery because of the risk of developing ulcerative colitis.
