Thank you to Dr. Delani Gunawardena for an excellent case of an atypical presentation of Crohn’s disease!

Learning Points:

-Crohn’s disease may present atypically, and extraintestinal manifestations commonly include involvement of the mouth (stomatitis), eyes (uveitis, episcleritis), skin (erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum), and joints (seronegative spondyloarthropathy).

-Most extraintestinal manifestations of IBD will respond to treatment of underlying bowel disease.
