Video Tip: Diagnosing a Cecal Patch in Ulcerative Colitis | February 2023-Diagnosing a Cecal Patch in Ulcerative Colitis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a case of a 32-year-old man who presented with rectal bleeding and diarrhea. It focuses on an abnormality observed in the secum, specifically the appendiceal orifice. This abnormality is identified as a CEQL patch, commonly found in ulcerative colitis patients. The patch appears as a mucosa at the appendiceal orifice and can vary in size. Biopsy confirms the typical histology of ulcerative colitis. The presence of the CEQL patch may increase the risk of distal ulcerative colitis extending into the proximal colon, making it an important finding to recognize and document. The video tip is sponsored by Braintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, makers of SUTAB.
