Abstract:
Amongst the protean extra-intestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease, scant mention is made of muscle involvement. This report outlines the clinical features, electrodiagnostic and muscle biopsy findings in a patient with ulcerative colitis who developed progressive proximal muscle weakness. The demonstration of interstitial myositis is discussed in relation to his underlying disease.
