Bilateral Subcapsular Cataract in A Patient with Crohn's Disease Taking Oral Budesonide Therapy: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of European Internal Medicine Professionals (JEIMP) - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Crohn's disease is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, which can progress with remission and flares. In order to maintain remission, initially; systemic glucocorticoids such as prednisolone are used. However, since these traditional glucocorticoids have too many side effects, second-generation drugs such as budesonide, which has much fewer systemic side effects, are now used. However, in the case we presented, a bilateral posterior subcapsular cataract developed in a Crohn's patient followed up with oral budesonide therapy. It was seen that there was no such case report in the literature.
