Thromboembolic episode is a well known extraintestinal complications of ulcerative colitis, but it is a rare complication in clinically. In the literature there are some interesting observations concerning the factors, may play a major role both in the pathogenesis and in the hypercoagulability in ulcerative colitis.

We reviewed the incidence, the activity and severity of the basic disease, the pathogenesis, the treatment, the prognosis of thromboembolic phenomena in patients with ulcerative colitis.
