Abstract

Polyarteritis nodosa, one of the necrotizing vasculitis involving predominantly small and medium sized arteries is a rare disease. Gastrointestinal involvements have been reported in more than 50% of patients at some time during its course. The small bowel is the frequent site of involvement in clinically apparent ischemic disease. The colon is less commonly involved, particularly at the initial presentation. We report a rare case of polyarteritis nodosa with ischemic colitis, perforation, and pseudomembrane formation.
