title: [Choroiditis and Crohn disease: a case report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Crohn disease is an inflammatory bowel disease. Extradigestive manifestations can occur, especially ocular inflammation, but posterior choroidal inflammation is more unusual.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a 42-year-old woman, suffering from histologically proven Crohn disease for one year, who developed choroiditis in the left eye of unknown etiology. Fundus and fluorescein angiography displayed an aspect mimicking ampiginous choroiditis, and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography disclosed a large choroidal subtractive aspect.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case is a rare example of posterior segment manifestation in Crohn disease, possibly due to choroidal infiltration by inflammatory cells or choroidal focal ischemia.
