Core Tip We describe the rare case of a 31 year-old man who presented with severe abdominal pain, haematochezia and a recent change in bowel habits who was found to have colitis affecting the transverse, descending and sigmoid colon on computed tomography. Despite an exhaustive panel of investigations no definite cause could be found for this. Partial colectomy was performed due to failure of medical management and histological examination revealed segmental hypoganglionosis. Previous reports in the literature have proposed the possible role of infective, autoimmune or ischaemic conditions in inciting a pathological chronic inflammatory response with resultant ganglionic destruction.
