Abstract

Phlebosclerotic colitis (PC) is a rare disease entity of intestinal ischemia characterized by calcification at the right hemicolon and is predominant in Asian populations. We present a 57-year-old Korean patient who was an Oriental medicine practitioner himself and had been taking herbal medicine for decades. We reviewed previous literature on similar cases and analyzed radiologic features of PC in relation to the intake period of toxic material and extent of disease.
