Ischemic colitis is a disease with a polymorphic clinical picture, which may be of a formidable gravity in gangrenous forms. Its etiologies are varied and more and more due to a low arterial output. The examinations permitting to establish the diagnosis are barium enema and mostly colonoscopy which should be performed early and repeated often. The treatment vary according to the severity of the disease; prognosis is always reserved.
