Abstract
Schönlein-Henoch purpura is a disease characterized by purpura, joint pain and abdominal pain. Abdominal lesions in this disease have been rarely described. This report is the presentation of a case of Schonlein-Henoch purpura accompained by a peculiar lesion in the large bowel. The patient was 48-year-old female who suddenly developed dull pain in the lower abdomen associated with diarrhea. X-ray and colonof iberscopic examinations revealed multiple, deep ulcers in the transverse colon and descending colon, respectively. Narrowing of the involved lumen which was initially prominent recovered to normal. Gastrointestinal lesions of 135 cases of adult Schonlein-Henoch purpura described in the literature were briefly reviewed.
