Inflammatory bowel disease can affect muscles, causing weakness. This case study details a patient with ulcerative colitis who developed interstitial myositis, a rare muscle inflammation.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Neurology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses various extra-intestinal manifestations.
  • Muscle involvement is an under-recognized complication of IBD.

Observation:

  • A patient with ulcerative colitis presented with progressive proximal muscle weakness.
  • Clinical evaluation included electrodiagnostic studies and muscle biopsy.

Findings:

  • The muscle biopsy revealed interstitial myositis.
  • This finding was correlated with the patient's underlying ulcerative colitis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering muscle involvement in IBD patients with weakness.
  • Suggests interstitial myositis as a potential extra-intestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis.
