Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Abdominal tuberculosis is an increasingly common disease that poses diagnostic challenge as the nonspecific features of the disease may lead to diagnostic delays and the development of complications. Tuberculosis of gastrointestinal tract commonly affects distal ileum and ileocaecal junction. Segmental colonic tuberculosis is uncommon and constitute 9.2 % of all abdominal tuberculosis. We are presenting a case of primary tuberculous stricture of splenic flexure which posed a diagnostic dilemma.
