RESUMEN
Endoscopic polypectomy is essential for the prevention of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome-associated complications, including intussusception, intestinal obstruction, and malignant transformation. Conventional polypectomy is the preferred approach, but it can be challenging to achieve in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome because of the high polyp burden and polyps located in areas with difficult endoscopic access. This case report highlights 2 different techniques of ischemic polypectomy and its advantage compared with conventional polypectomy in this subset of patients.
RESUMEN
Interleukin-17 inhibitors are effective treatments for plaque psoriasis. However, these medications have been linked to the development of new-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the worsening of existing IBD in some patients. This case report describes a patient with plaque psoriasis who developed new-onset Crohn's disease after treatment with ixekizumab, an interleukin-17A inhibitor. He was then transitioned to ustekinumab, which resulted in successful remission of both psoriasis and Crohn's disease. This case highlights the potential for ustekinumab to be an effective rescue treatment for psoriasis patients with new-onset IBD triggered by medications.
