“… 6 These changes are edematous bowel wall and the presence of mucosal tears, the appearance of ‘cat scratch mucosa’. 15 – 17 , 86 No known specific laboratory markers have been discovered so far. Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, mild anemia, and certain autoantibodies might be present.…”

Microscopic colitis (comprising lymphocytic and collagenous colitis, albeit an incomplete variant is gaining recognition as well) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory state of the lower gastrointestinal tract (colon). The diagnosis requires diagnostic colonoscopy with characteristic histopathological findings. They have a propensity to present in senior populations (above 60 years of age), particularly women – who are approximately 2.5–3 times more likely to develop microscopic colitis. Preexisting other immune-inflammatory diseases are also shown to predispose patients for the development of microscopic colitis. The classic presentation is profuse watery diarrhea, often during the night or early morning hours. Fecal incontinence and abdominal pain are frequent as well. Thus, the disease impacts patients’ quality of life and well-being. The first described cases date back to the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, thereby they can be considered fairly recently discovered disease states. Our understanding of the disease and its pathophysiology is still incomplete. Although there is a lack of unified recommendation for treatment, most clinicians prefer the use of budesonide, and most published guidelines regard this locally acting glucocorticoid as the therapy of choice. In our article, we aimed for a brief, noncomprehensive overview of the clinical significance, diagnosis, and management of microscopic colitis.

“…Collagenous colitis (CC) is widely recognised as a cause of chronic diarrhoea. CC is sometimes diagnosed with cat scratch sign found during colonoscopy 1. On the other hand, no abnormality is observed in more than 80% of cases; hence, the diagnosis of CC cannot be made without biopsy.…”

“…The lesions are not due to direct scope trauma. Recently, Baudet et al found CSC in 20 (0.19%) of the 10,715 colonoscopies in their series [3], finding collagenous colitis in 5 cases and diversion colitis in 15. Older age and male sex were significantly associated with CSC.…”
