AMBOSS states that Ischemic colitis is old term and now colon ischemia is preferred term.
See colon ischemia and definition.
"Often used interchangeably with the term ischemic colitis."
Hover over chat box for pop up.
"Colon ischemia is preferred, as the term colitis implies an additional inflammatory state, which may not be present in all patients."
I think the main text field for all "Ischemic colitis" cards should be switched to new preferred term. I can find them and make the suggestions if you all agree. Or they can say "colon ischemia (ischemic colitis)" or something similar. There's one card now that I have seen that uses that.
