    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Idiopathic ulcerative colitis (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition.
    • Pericardial effusion and pericarditis are inflammatory conditions affecting the heart sac.
    • The association between IBD and cardiac manifestations, particularly pericarditis, is uncommon.

    Observation:

    • An 18-year-old male patient presented with pericardial effusion.
    • The patient had a concurrent diagnosis of idiopathic ulcerative colitis.
    • No circulating immune complexes were detected in the patient.

    Findings:

    • The patient's pericardial effusion and pericarditis resolved.
    • Symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) also improved.
    • Resolution was achieved with a treatment regimen of sulfasalazine and prednisone.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider pericardial effusion or pericarditis in IBD patients presenting with chest symptoms.
    • Investigating for IBD may be warranted in unexplained cases of pericardial disorders.
    • This case underscores the potential systemic inflammatory nature of IBD, extending to cardiac involvement.
