Methamphetamine colitis: a rare case of ischemic colitis in a young patient

Stefan D Holubar et al. Arch Surg. 2009 Aug.

Abstract

Worldwide, methamphetamine (ie, "crystal meth") abuse is increasing, and is especially prevalent in rural America. However, ischemic colitis secondary to methamphetamine abuse has rarely been reported. We describe the case of a young man who presented with signs and symptoms suggestive of ischemic colitis.
