Abstract

Granulomatous vulvitis/cheilitis may occur rarely as an extraintestinal manifestation of Crohn’s disease (CD) and may precede the development of gastrointestinal symptoms. Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is associated with a wide variety of illnesses including inflammatory bowel disease. Though the immunologic abnormalities in inflammatory bowel disease may encompass both granulomatous inflammation as well as autoimmune components, the combination of CD, GBS and granulomatous vulvitis/cheilitis in the same patient has not been described in literature. We hereby reported a 14 year old girl with granulomatous vulvitis/cheilitis for 4 years preceding the development of gastrointestinal manifestations of CD, who also had GBS during the course of hospitalization.
