Abstract EN
The relationship of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is understood as extraintestinal rheumatic manifestations.
CRMO is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, noninfectious disorder of the skeletal system of unknown origin.
The disease course is not always recurrent.
The association of CRMO and ulcerative colitis (UC) is very rarely reported.
We report a case of a 10-year-old Saudi female who was diagnosed with CRMO, when she developed fever in association with left foot pain, and ulcerative colitis was confirmed endoscopically and histologically based on a previous settled diarrheal illness and severe iron deficiency anemia which required blood.
Both conditions responded well to IBD therapy.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of chronic, multifocal osteomyelitis associated with pediatric UC in Saudi Arabia.
This report supports the use of IBD therapy in treating CRMO.
