Case description

Extensive colitis (pancolitis) In pancolitis, inflammation extends into the transverse or right colon. Patients are more likely to present with diarrhea because of diminished absorptive capacity of the colon, accompanied by rectal bleeding and urgency. Abdominal cramps may be diffuse or localized, and patients are more likely to have weight loss, systemic or extraintestinal symptoms, and anemia.
