This case study highlights a rare instance of myocarditis developing during a Crohn's disease flare. It details the patient's journey, emphasizing atypical focal myocardial inflammation.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, can be idiopathic or secondary to systemic conditions.
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, can present with rare extra-intestinal manifestations like myocarditis.
  • Crohn's-induced myocarditis is an uncommon complication, particularly during active disease flares.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a unique case of a 56-year-old female with acute Crohn's colitis complicated by myocarditis.
  • To delineate the clinical course and development of focal myocardial inflammation in this patient.
  • To illustrate the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and echocardiographic findings associated with Crohn's-induced myocarditis.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 56-year-old female patient.
  • Clinical assessment during an acute Crohn's colitis exacerbation.
  • Cardiac imaging including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).

Main Results:

  • The patient experienced an acute flare of Crohn's colitis.
  • Myocarditis developed as a complication, characterized by focal myocardial inflammation with an atypical pattern.
  • Cardiac imaging provided detailed findings of the myocardial inflammation.

Conclusions:

  • This case underscores the rare association between Crohn's disease flares and myocarditis.
  • The findings illustrate an atypical pattern of focal myocardial inflammation in Crohn's-induced myocarditis.
  • Understanding these rare manifestations is crucial for comprehensive patient management.
