Ulcerative colitis-associated diffuse enteritis without prior colectomy: A case report

UC-associated small bowel inflammation is typically observed following colectomy; however, this case underscores that it can also occur in patients without prior colectomy. The condition often presents with unexplained abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, symptoms that may not be attributable solely to UC. For patients with extraintestinal symptoms who do not respond to steroid treatment, biologic therapies, such as infliximab, may provide an effective therapeutic option.
