Fulminant Ulcerative Colitis

Four patients underwent emergency colectomy during pregnancy or the puerperium for complications of ulcerative proctocolitis. Three had inactive colitis at conception, while in the fourth the disease started during pregnancy. Three patients required subtotal colectomy and ileostomy for toxic dilatation during the third trimester or within 5 days of delivery, and the fourth underwent proctocolectomy postpartum for intractable colitis. There were no maternal deaths but 2 of 4 infants died. One child weighing 1.4 kg survived vaginal delivery during the 33rd week of pregnancy, 2 weeks after his mother had undergone emergency colectomy.

One Year

A 12-week-old white male infant with ulcerative colitis and toxic megacolon is described. His diarrhea and rectal bleeding responded to prednisone. He subsequently developed toxic dilatation of the transverse colon while on salicylazosulfapyridine and one week after discontinuation of prednisone. His toxic megacolon disappeared during close medical observation, readministration of prednisone, and avoidance of repeated abdominal examinations. One year later sigmoidoscopy showed only friable mucosa and the barium enema showed the presence of ulcerative colitis but with improvement from the initial study. Currently he is taking 375 mg of salicylazosulfapyridine daily. Growth and development are normal and he is asymptomatic.
