Title: | Focal white-matter lesions in brain of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.[Report]

Abstract: | SUMMARY: Inflammatory bowel diseases are often associated with extra-intestinal manifestations, such as arthritis and iritis/uveitis. Using magnetic-resonance imaging we found hyperintense focal white-matter lesions in the brain in 20 of 48 (42%) patients with Crohn's disease, in 11 of 24 (46%) patients with ulcerative colitis, but in only 8 of 50 (16%) healthy age-matched controls (relative risk (95% CI) vs controls 2.6 (1.3-5.3) and 2.9 (1.3-6.2), respectively). These findings may represent another extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease.
