    Chronic polyneuropathy, a severe nerve disorder, is linked to ulcerative colitis. This condition presents with axonal and demyelinating features, potentially as an immune-related complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) are common in UC.
    • Neurological complications of UC are less understood.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with chronic polyneuropathy.
    • Electrophysiologic studies revealed severe axonal and demyelinating neuropathy.
    • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein levels were elevated at 875 mg/dl.
    • Sural nerve biopsy showed perineuritis.

    Findings:

    • The observed peripheral neuropathy exhibited both axonal and demyelinating characteristics.
    • Perineuritis was identified in the sural nerve biopsy.

  • Elevated CSF protein suggests an inflammatory or demyelinating process.

    • Implications:

    • Peripheral neuropathy with perineuritis may represent an immune-mediated EIM of UC.
    • This association highlights the systemic impact of ulcerative colitis.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the immunopathogenesis.
