Cachexia, chorea, and pain in chronic nonbacterial osteitis and inflammatory bowel disease: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammatory bowel disease is an inflammatory disorder that primarily impacts the gastrointestinal tract, leading to malnutrition and chronic microscopic intestinal blood loss. Uncontrolled systemic inflammation can impact other parts of the body, known as extraintestinal manifestations. Up to 25% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease are reported to have these complications in their skin, joints, bones, eyes, liver, lung, and pancreas (Rogler et al. in Gastroenterology 161(4):1118-1132, 2021). Neurologic involvement as extraintestinal manifestations are less common, reported at 3-19%, including neuropathies, demyelination, and cerebrovascular events (Morís in World J Gastroenterol. 20(5):1228-1237, 2014).
