title: [Cerebral venous thrombosis and ulcerative colitis].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Thromboembolic events are serious complications in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  An 18-year-old patient, with a one year history of ulcerative colitis, presented with cerebral venous thrombosis during the decreasing period of corticotherapy after an active phase of the disease. Under treatment, the neurological disorder rapidly improved. No inherited thrombophilia was found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The role of acquired and inherited risks factors is discussed.
