Ulcerative colitis [Pathophysiology, Gross & Microscopic morphology, Toxic megacolon]

This video highlights the high-yield concepts of Ulcerative colitis, taken from the "inflammatory bowel disease" video. Here, we learn about the pattern of inflammation and spread of ulcerative colitis (continuous inflammation extending proximally through the colon), as well as some common findings on imaging (lead pipe appearance of the colon).
Ulcerative colitis shares some similarities with Crohn's disease and differentiating both conditions is crucial as their management may vary significantly. We hope this video gives you a better understanding of how ulcerative colitis affects the body and how it may be differentiated.
