Abstract

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) showing immunologic abnormalities and association with autoimmune states (Snook et al., 1989). Extraintestinal manifestation of UC affect various organ systems (Podolsky, 1991). We describe morphologically documented encephalomyeloneuritis in a 58-year-old white male with UC in full remission providing support for the concept that ulcerative colitis may be complicated by neurologic manifestations affecting both the central and peripheral nervous system.
