“…Some will ultimately declare themselves as either ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn disease (CD). Others such as the primary systemic vasculitides occasionally mimic IBD (1‐18), and extraintestinal vasculitis can complicate IBD (19‐45). Thus, the differentiation between primary systemic vasculitis and IBD can be clinically challenging, but it is important to distinguish these disorders because their treatment and outcomes are different.…”

Extraintestinal manifestations and inflammatory responses that may be disproportionate to the degree of intestinal inflammation provide clues to the presence of an underlying primary systemic vasculitis, and these data suggest that selective visceral angiography plays a key role in the diagnosis of vasculitis in this context. It is important to identify and treat any vasculitic component because failure to do so may result in consequential morbidity or mortality.

This paper details the first case report of a patient with fulminant, gangrenous, ischemic colitis caused by polyarteritis nodosa which was successfully treated surgically. Ischemic colitis is a rare complication of polyarteritis nodosa. It should be suspected in patients with a past history of polyarteritis nodosa who develop abdominal pain and rectal bleeding. The identification of cutaneous lesions preoperatively and or mesenteric or serosal vascular beading at operation are helpful in establishing this diagnosis. Prognosis is generally determined by the extent of systemic involvement by polyarteritis nodosa, and death is generally associated with renal failure.
