Among patients with a suspicion of ischemic colitis, endoscopic evaluation, via colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy, is the diagnostic procedure of choice if the diagnosis remains unclear after other imaging studies. Colonoscopy is sensitive and allows visualization of colonic mucosa and histological analysis of biopsies. Colonoscopy requires to be performed within 48 hours for diagnosis of ischemic colitis.

  • Early endoscopy can confirm the diagnosis and provides prognostic information.
    • Distinguishes between cases that need conservative management versus those that require emergency resection.
