ABSTRACT
We report the case of a man in his 50s who was diagnosed with Crohn's colitis in his 30s and who presented with post-prandial lower abdominal pain in January, 20XX. Colonoscopy and abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed abscesses around the sigmoid colon. Although his response to antibiotics was poor, treatment with a combination of antibiotics and adalimumab resolved the abscesses. Nine months later, however, the abscesses around the sigmoid colon recurred. Treatment comprising bowel rest and antibiotics led to immediate improvement of the symptoms. We report a case of effective anti-tumor necrosis factor-α therapy in Crohn's colitis with abscesses around the sigmoid colon.
