Abstract
Crohn's disease cannot be distinguished from ulcerative colitis on clinical grounds, yet the two diseases are distinct syndromes with divergent treatment and prognosis. IBD presents mainly with intestinal and extraintestinal manifestations. The various extraintestinal manifestations include musculoskeletal, mucocutaneous, hepatobiliary, hematologic, vascular, ocular, renal and genitourinary manifestations. The study was conducted with the approval from the institutional Ethical Committee, Sree mookambika college of medical sciences . The duration of illness was upto 10 years, at different stages of Inflammatory bowel disease. Patients with the age group ranging from 15‐70 years were studied. The selected patients were evaluated with detailed clinical history regarding duration of the disease and symptomatology. Aphthous ulcer is present in 5.12% of patients in our study. Sleisenger concluded that aphthous ulcers are common among patients with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis but also among healthy persons. At least 10% of patients with UC develop oral aphthous ulcers. These lesions usually occur with flares of colitis and resolve on control of the disease. It is present in 15.38% of the participants. Out of the 2 cases of CD, angular stomatitis was presentin one case. The aim was to study the clinical presentation of IBD in our hospital and the extraintestinal manifestations of the disease. All cases of bleeding PR who satisfied the clinical, colonoscopic and histologic criteria of IBD were included as well as cases of proven IBD. Thirty nine patients with inflammatory bowel disease were included in the study. Colonoscopic examination of these patients were done after taking proper consent.
