ABSTRACT
No detailed information is currently available about the management of pregnancy and delivery in patients with a stoma after colectomy for ulcerative colitis. We describe the case of a young pregnant woman with terminal ileostomy after toxic megacolon. Episodes of stoma occlusion, determined by the enlargement of the uterus, were treated with endoscopic decompression and daily assumption of oral laxatives, making possible to avoid surgery and carry pregnancy on until caesarean section was performed at week 37. Fertility issues, facing pregnancy with ileostomy rather than with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, and choice of caesarean section rather than vaginal delivery are discussed.
