Özet
Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP) is predominantly a childhood disease with a good prognosis. Two-thirds of the patients with HSP have abdominal manifestations. The most common intestinal complaint is colicky abdominal pain, which is often associated with vomiting, followed by intestinal hemorrhage, hematemesis, melena and hematochesia. The influence of HSP on the gastrointestinal system sometimes leads to serious complications, such as intussusception, massive hemorrhage and intestinal perforation. Early corticosteroid treatment for these intestinal complications is recommended.1 In this report we describe two cases with HSP-related intestinal perforation developed after corticosteroid treatment.
