Summary
The case of a patient who had ischemic proctitis, first seen because of stricture formation of the rectum which clinically seemed to be granulomatous colitis is presented. Abdominoperineal rectal resection eventually was necessary. The vascular changes appeared to be limited to the rectum and were of a severely proliferative, obliterative type which could lead to ischemia of the tissue distal to the obliteration.
