This study highlights a rare case of severe axial arthritis and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in a patient with ulcerative colitis. Effective treatment with salazosulfapyridine and ursodeoxycholic acid provided rapid pain relief and improved liver function.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Axial arthritis and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are known extraintestinal manifestations of UC.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 22-year-old male with a history of UC presented with severe, progressive lower back pain.
  • Radiographic findings included sacroiliac joint sclerosis and lumbar vertebral changes.
  • Elevated liver transaminases prompted further investigation.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) confirmed primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
  • The patient was diagnosed with severe axial arthritis and PSC, despite clinically inactive UC.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Treatment with salazosulfapyridine and ursodeoxycholic acid was initiated.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing the spectrum of UC-associated complications.
    • Prompt diagnosis and multimodal treatment can effectively manage severe axial arthritis and PSC.
    • Aggressive management can lead to significant symptom improvement and reduced cholestasis.
