Abstract

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is a poorly understood autoimmune clinical entity that include indeterminate colitis, Crohn’s (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Being a chronic relapsing illness, IBD is a multi-system disorder than can involve the eyes, skin, joints, Liver and kidneys, but mostly characterized by chronic relapsing intestinal inflammation. Although IBD, is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gut, the manifestations of CD and UC are not limited to the gastrointestinal tract. Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) are frequently observed in patients with IBD, with a reported frequency of 6-46% [1]. The skin, musculoskeletal, joints, eyes, and hepato-biliary tract are the organs most affected by EIMs.
