Case description

Plain Abdominal Rx

DIAGNOSIS — The diagnosis of toxic megacolon should
be considered in all patients presenting with abdominal
distension and acute or chronic diarrhea. The diagnosis is
clinical, based upon the finding of an enlarged dilated colon
accompanied by severe systemic toxicity. The initial
evaluation should be aimed at establishing the diagnosis of
toxic megacolon and at determining the underlying etiology
to help institute specific therapeutic measures.
