[Nummular keratopathy in Crohn's disease. Apropos of a case].
We report an unusual case of nummular keratopathy of the left eye in a 58-year-old woman with active Crohn's disease, presenting colo-anal and joint symptoms. Spontaneously decreased bowel activity and local steroid treatment provided symptom relief and incomplete decrease in volume of subepithelial elevations. We discuss the clinical aspects, the epidemiologic factors, the pathogenic mechanisms and the treatment of keratopathy in Crohn's disease.
