ABSTRACT
Although rare in young patients, acute ischaemic colitis can have devastating consequences. We detail the presentation and clinical course of a severe, progressive case of this disease related temporally to the recent ingestion of a sibutramine-containing herbal slimming agent procured on-line without prescription or medical indication in a young female that ultimately required emergency laparoscopic total colectomy with end ileostomy to prevent end organ failure.
