Toxic megacolon is an acute complication seen in both types of inflammatory bowel disease and, less commonly, in infectious colitis and other types of colitis. It is due to fulminant colitis, which causes loss of the neurogenic tone of the colon, leading to severe dilatation and increasing the risk of perforation.
