Abstract

Pulmonary complications occur in an estimated 0.21% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The most common presentation of pulmonary manifestations is large airway disease, such as tracheobronchitis, chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis. Small airway disease, such as constrictive bronchiolitis or bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia, is less frequently reported, and is described as occurring in isolation from large airway disease. A case of a postcolectomy ulcerative colitis in a patient who has both large airway involvement, tracheobronchitis and bronchiectasis, and constrictive bronchiolitis is presented.

Airway involvement in ulcerative colitis.

P. Wilcox, R. Miller, G. Miller … (1987)

Two patients with ulcerative colitis developed progressive obstructive pulmonary disease. In one, the abnormality was a sclerosing peribronchiolitis confined to small airways, while the other demonstrated a large airway fibrotic obliterative bronchitis. A review of airway involvement in ulcerative colitis and a discussion of the possible similarity to another extraintestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis, sclerosing cholangitis, are presented.

Diffuse panbronchiolitis preceding ulcerative colitis.

Sima Desai, T Stoller, G Gephardt (1989)

To expand the clinical spectrum of ulcerative colitis-associated lung disease, we describe a patient with panbronchiolitis associated with ulcerative colitis. In addition to his having a distinctive pulmonary manifestation of this bowel disease, other noteworthy aspects of this patient's course include the onset of pulmonary symptoms several years prior to bowel manifestations and the partial resolution of his pulmonary symptoms following colectomy.
