Nodular scleritis, episcleritis and anterior uveitis as ocular complications of Crohn's disease.

Schuettenberg Sp

Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

Ocular complications of Crohn's disease (granulomatous enterocolitis) are reported to be as high as 13 percent. However, the association between ocular inflammation and intestinal inflammation is not always recognized by optometrists. The onset of ocular symptoms can often be a precursor to exacerbation of bowel involvement. A case report of episcleritis, anterior nodular scleritis and anterior uveitis secondary to Crohn's disease is discussed.
