Abstract

Thromboembolism is a rare extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease. Thromboembolic event involving CNS in a case with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is very rare & leads to increase in mortality. The mortality of ulcerative colitis with thromboembolic complications have been reported to reach 25 percent. Here, we present a case of a young adult with a two years old history of ulcerative colitis with a sudden onset of stroke with no other associated co-morbidities for cerebrovascular disease.
