Systemic vasculitides, and especially their gastrointestinal manifestations, are a continuous challenge not only for gastroenterologists and rheumatologists but also for every practising physician. Owing to their chameleon-like appearance, overt clinical symptoms of vasculitides may be restricted to distinct parts of the human body including the intestine. in clinical practice, it is therefore essential to search for the systemic disease underlying the gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, bleeding, ileus and necrosis in case vasculitis is suspected or likely as a cause for these sequelae. Classification of intestinal vasculitides is also difficult, since most of the criteria currently used have been established by rheumatologists and, in general, biopsies of the affected vessels cannot be obtained. However, there are increasing data that not only facilitate diagnosis but also allow adequate immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory therapeutic approaches, which will be outlined in detail in this chapter.
