A colonoscopy revealed several shallow round ulcers in the ileocecal region and ascending colon, and the biopsy specimens showed nonspecific inflammation.

The patient was diagnosed with intestinal ulcers (intestinal BD-like disease) with MDS and trisomy 8. After treatment failure with 5-aminosalicylic acid, steroid, colchicine, and azacitidine, cerebral infarction occurred. Eating was difficult because of the patient's impaired consciousness; hence, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) was commenced. The fever and abdominal symptoms improved with bowel rest over approximately 1 month. Small amounts of food were orally administered to the patient following recovery from the after-effects of the cerebral infarction, but diarrhea and fever repeatedly flared up. Therefore, TPN was continued at home. The patient has not experienced any further intestinal BD symptoms for approximately 1 year with bowel rest.
