Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease) in a Spanish patient with pars plana exudates: report of a new case and review of the literature.
Several ocular manifestations have been found in Crohn's disease patients, most often affecting the anterior segment. This paper presents the case of a young woman with pars plana exudates in whom Crohn's disease was later diagnosed. To the authors' knowledge, this is only the second report of Crohn's disease and concomitant pars plana exudates.
