Rectal
enema used for diagnostic and
therapeutic purposes infrequently causes
colitis. In medical practice,
enemas are known to incidentally bring about
colitis by mechanical, thermal, or direct chemical
injuries.
Coffee enema is told to ameliorate the
constipation in
alternative medicine. We hereby
report a case of acute
colitis resulting from
coffee enema, which was presented with severe
abdominal pain and
hematochezia.
