Abstract
The potential harmful effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the stomach and duodenum is well known. NSAID-related damage to the colon is less frequently observed, but could result in inflammation, ulcers, and stricture formation. With the increasing use of NSAIDs, recognition of this phenomenon is important, because it can be confused with inflammatory bowel disease. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
