Microscopic colitis as a cause of chronic watery diarrhea in a female patient with vertebrogenic algic syndrome

MUDr.Daniel Debnár

Microscopic colitis is a common cause of a chronic watery non-bloody diarrhea where endoscopic, radiologic and thorough laboratory

findings are mostly normal and the diagnosis is confirmed histologically from random biopsies over the colon. From the microscopic

view we can distinguish between lymfocytic colitis and collagenous colitis. In this report we bring a case of a female patient with a vertebrogenic

algic syndrome treated with standard chronical analgetic therapy who developed a sudden onset watery diarrhea, where

the final diagnosis and the correct treatment was made histologically from a macroscopic intact colon after a very detailed investigation

of the patient.

Keywords: microscopic colitis, collagenous colitis, lymfocytic colitis, chronic diarrhea, budesonid
