Abstract
Barotrauma or cat scratch is an unusual finding on colonoscopy. The etiology is unknown, but insufflation associated with increased rigidity of the colonic wall due to various pathological processes has been postulated as a pathogenic mechanism. Some authors observed the same associated with collagenous colitis, IBD(Inflammatory Bowel Diseases), intestinal ischemia, shunt colitis and intake of NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). In all the cases described, Co2 was used for insufflation.
