[Pericarditis and inflammatory bowel disease].
Extraintestinal manifestations of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are well described in the literature. These may be diagnosed before, concomitantly or after the diagnosis of the specific type of inflammatory bowel disease. Between 25% and 36% of patients with either type of IBD will have at least one extraintestinal manifestation. Pericarditis and myocarditis are rare, but potentially serious complications. We report one such case.
