Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a systemic inflammatory affecting multiple organs apart from intestinal tract, ocular complications account for approximately 5%. These range from uveitis, episcleritis, scleritis and keratopathy. Treatment involves systemic and local ocular therapy in the form of 5-aminosalicylate agents, steroids, immunosuppressants or biological agents in severe disease. We report a case of 21 year old young female presented with bloody diarrhea and acute onset visual loss diagnosed to have severe ulcerative colitis complicated with acute anterior uveitis.
