Abstract:	This chapter on inflammatory diseases of the colon, rectum, anus, and perianal region is from a multidisciplinary reference book and atlas that covers all aspects of anorectal and colon disease (proctology). Topics include Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, ischemic (lack of blood flow) colitis, collagenous colitis, pseudomembranous colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colitis cystica profunda, solitary rectal ulcer, diverticulosis and diverticulitis, and radiation proctitis. In each section, the author considers etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis. The chapter includes full-color and black-and-white illustrations and photographs, to support the heavily-visual aspects of proctology. Each section concludes with a list of references. 42 figures. 12 tables. 444 references.
