title: Extracolonic manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease.
abstract: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease may develop various extracolonic manifestations. Oral and eye complaints are common. Recognition is important because these may be clues to subclinical chronic ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Treatment of the bowel inflammation may improve the extracolonic manifestations, such as peripheral arthritis or erythema nodosum.
