We report a 30-year-old woman with
pleuropericarditis
, cardiac tamponade, and
disseminated intravascular coagulation
complicating active ulcerative colitis (UC). Other autoimmune diseases were not present. She responded to pulsed steroid therapy and anticoagulant with resolution of the complication and UC. We reviewed the literature and found 27 cases of
pleuropericarditis
associated with idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It has been reported that
pleuropericarditis
associated with IBD responds well to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, as well as steroids. The causes of cardiac involvement in IBD remain unclear, but the
pleuropericarditis
must be recognized as a potential extraintestinal manifestation of IBD.
