Abstract

A 55-year-old man was hospitalized because of intestinal obstruction. On admission, endoscopic examination showed multiple ulcers in the sigmoid and descending colon and a colonic stricture in the transverse colon. It was diagnosed as intestinal tuberculosis. The colonic stricture was successfully treated with endoscopic balloon dilation. It is rare that stricture of intestinal tuberculosis is treated with endoscopic balloon dilation.
