[A case of Crohn's disease associated with ankylosing spondylitis and digital hippocratism]
Insights
This study examines the link between chronic intestinal inflammation and joint issues, focusing on a Crohn's disease case with ankylosing spondylitis and clubbed fingers. It highlights associations like enteropathic synovitis and hypertrophic osteopathy in inflammatory bowel disease.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Rheumatology
- Clinical Case Study
Context:
- Investigates the complex relationship between chronic intestinal inflammation and articular manifestations.
- Focuses on a specific clinical case of Crohn's disease co-occurring with ankylosing spondylitis and digitalic hippocratism.
Purpose:
- To describe a clinical case linking Crohn's disease with ankylosing spondylitis and digitalic hippocratism.
- To review existing literature on associations observed in Crohn's disease patients.
Summary:
- Presents a case of Crohn's disease with associated ankylosing spondylitis and digitalic hippocratism (clubbed fingers).
- Reviews literature on common associations in Crohn's disease, emphasizing articular manifestations such as enteropathic synovitis and hypertrophic osteopathy.
Impact:
- Enhances understanding of the extra-intestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease.
- Provides insights into the spectrum of rheumatological complications associated with Crohn's disease, particularly digital clubbing.
Abstract:
Some comments are made on the association of chronic intestinal inflammatory conditions and articular manifestations on the basis of a case of Crohn's disease associated with ankylosing spondylitis and digitalic hippocratism. The clinical case is described and the literature on associations observed during Crohn's disease reviewed. Special attention is paid to associations involving ankylosing spondylitis, enteropathic synovitis and hypertrophic osteopathy, particularly as regards the presence of clubbed fingers.
