Therapeutic effect of prednisolon injection directly into the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries in 20 cases of ulcerative colitis at the active stage or acute exacervation was as follows:1) Of the 16 patients, 10 (62%) showed improvement by subjective and objective criteria one week after the injection.2) Two of 3 patients with toxic megacolon complicating ulcerative colitis were responded very well with this injective treatment.3) Cases with the inferior mesenteric arteries, of which diameters were more than 6mm were responded more effectively by the treatment than cases with those arteries, of which diameters were less than 6mm.4) It is more effective for cases within the first year after diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and for cases of initial attack than for cases with relapsing-remitting course.5) There was no case with any side effects of this treatment in our series.
