Overview

Ischemic colitis is characterized by abdominal pain which is out of proportion to physical findings, specifically excruciating abdominal pain despite limited focal tenderness.

Physical Examination

The physical examination findings of ischemic colitis are as foloows:[1][2]

Signs

  • Clinical examination of the abdomen reveals mild to moderate tenderness over the affected area of the colon.
  • Rectal examination shows heme-positive stools.
  • In cases of severe ischemia with transmural infarction and necrosis, marked tenderness with peritoneal signs may be present on physical examination accompanied by metabolic acidosis and septic shock.
