World J Clin Cases. 2021 Jun 16;9(17):4342-4347. doi: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i17.4342. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rare in patients with glycogen storage disease (GSD). In GSD patients, a decrease in the number of neutrophils leads to prolonged intestinal infection, leading to the formation of chronic inflammation and eventually the development of IBD. Minimally invasive surgery for patients with IBD has been proven to reduce inflammatory responses and postoperative risks and ultimately promote rapid recovery. Herein we discuss minimally invasive surgery and the perioperative management in a patient with GSD and IBD. CASE SUMMARY: A 23-year-old male had GSD Ib associated with IBD-like disease for 10 years. Despite standard treatments, such as mesalazine, prednisone and adalimumab, the patient eventually developed colonic stenosis with incomplete ileus. After adequate assessment, the patient was treated with minimally invasive surgery and discharged in stable condition. CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive surgery for patients with IBD and GSD is safe, feasible and effective. PMID:34141799 | PMC:PMC8173400 | DOI:10.12998/wjcc.v9.i17.4342 View on the web Inoreader.
