Overview
It depends on the Pathologic event that causes the symptomatic disease.It may lead to Lower GI Bleeding or diverticulitis
Diffrenetial Diagnosis
If the 'Bleeding' occurs the differential diagnosis for Lower GI Bleeding should be consider including[1]:
- Anorectal source of bleeding(hemorrhoids, anal fissures, rectal ulcers)
- Neoplasia (polyps and cancers)
- Angiodysplasia
- Postpolypectomy
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Other colitis (infectious, antibiotic associated, colitis of unclear etiology)
- Small bowel/upper GI bleed
The list of differential diagnosis fordiverticulitis includes[2]:
- Colonic Ischemia
- Colorectal cancer
- Acute appendicitis
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Infectious colitis
