What is the risk of terminal ileitis?

If the patient is not treated in time, it may cause toxic megacolon, paralytic intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation and other hazards.

1. Toxic megacolon

may be related to bacterial, viral and other pathogens infection. Pathogens can destroy intestinal mucosal epithelial barrier, leading to cell necrosis and generation of toxic substances, which may stimulate the colon, thus causing toxic megacolon.

2. Paralytic intestinal obstruction Terminal

ileitis may lead to intestinal spasm or intestinal motility weakening, thus causing intestinal blockage, forming paralytic intestinal obstruction.

3. Intestinal perforation

If the patient is not treated in time, the inflammatory reaction will gradually worsen, inflammatory factors can continuously destroy the intestinal wall, and then cause intestinal perforation.
