چکیده

CLINICAL CASE An 18 year-old-woman presented with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and ptosis in her left eye. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI) and the study of cerebrospinal fluid detected no abnormalities. Colonoscopy revealed a Crohn's disease (CD) confirmed by histological examination of biopsies. Ocular symptoms improved after appropriate treatment of the underlying CD. DISCUSSION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with a wide variety of extra-intestinal manifestations, in fact it may be considered a systemic disorder with predominantly gastrointestinal tract manifestations. Extra-intestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) occur in one third of patients. Ocular complications are infrequent, occurring in less than 10% of cases, but can be associated with significant morbidity, including blindness. Ocular symptoms may precede a diagnosis of IBD. We report the first case of palpebral ptosis associated with Crohn's disease.
