Ulcerative Colitis complicated by lower limbs thromboemboilism- an unusual case scenario
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Internal Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of vascular complications. In ulcerative colitis, 10% of deaths are attributed to thromboembolic complications. Arterial thromboembolic complications (ATEs) occur less frequently than venous thromboembolism (VTEs) in IBD patients. They are more common after interventional or surgical procedure but they can also occur spontaneously. Both venous and arterial, are serious extra-intestinal manifestations complicating the course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Although there is no consensus regarding use of anticoagulants yet timely treatment of thrombosis in ulcerative colitis with anticoagulant therapy shows good results.
