ABSTRACT
Crohn's disease is one of the inflammatory bowel diseases and is characterized by the involvement of the entire depth of the intestinal wall from the anus to the mouth. Neurological complications rarely occur in Crohn's disease and recurrent transverse myelitis has not yet been described in association with it. We report a 50-year-old man with Crohn's disease accompanied by recurrent transverse myelitis. Inflammatory bowel diseases and demyelinating disorders may share an autoimmune pathophysiology.
