Summary: | The authors report the case of a 19-year-old male patient with Crohn's disease treated with infliximab and azathioprine, with sustained clinical remission; in the course of the evolution, this patient showed a vascular malformation in his rectum, with daily massive bleeding, in need of several blood transfusions and finally with an indication for surgical treatment. Data from the literature on the association of the injury at issue and CD, as well as the drugs used by the patient, are evaluated. The literature lacks information linking this malformation with CD or with the drugs used.
Os autores relatam o caso de um paciente masculino de 19 anos que apresenta doença de Crohn em tratamento com Infliximabe e Azatioprina com remissão clínica sustentada, o qual apresenta ao longo da evolução uma mal-formação vascular no reto, com sangramento diário volumoso, necessitando de diversas transfusões sanguíneas e finalmente a indicação de tratamento cirúrgico. São avaliados os dados da literatura quanto à associação da lesão apresentada e a DC bem como com os medicamentos em uso pelo paciente. Não há na literatura pesquisada nenhuma informação que associe a mal-formação com a DC nem tampouco os medicamentos utilizados. |
