It seems to develop from an abnormal immunological response in the barrier epitelial of the colon and associates to the consumption of tobacco and some drugs. Diagnosis. Treatment.Budesonide is the elective treatment to symptomatic forms. Clinical presentation is very important to get a diagnosis in both of them entities.
