Most patients had underlying diseases,including hypertension,coronary heart disease,diabetes,hyperlipidemia and arrhythmia,etc. Colonoscopy and medications could also induce IC. The main clinical presentations were abdominal pain,hematochezia and diarrhea. The lesions were mostly located in left colon and of the transient type.Conclusions:
