Abstract

We report a case of a patient with ulcerative colitis and central serous retinopathy, which is a chronic ophthalmological condition that is frequently aggravated by corticosteroid treatment and may sometimes result in severe visual impairment. This case represents an interesting therapeutic dilemma pertaining to the treatment of ulcerative colitis exacerbation in a patient with this rare condition. Awareness of this condition as a cause of visual disturbance in IBD patients and a close ophthalmological cooperation are required in order to provide the optimal care for these patients.
