BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases are frequently associated with extra-intestinal manifestations and other autoimmune disorders. Association between primary sclerosing cholangitis and Crohn's disease is established. However, the association of antiphospholipid syndrome with Crohn's disease was reported in the literature only in the form of isolated case reports. OBJECTIVE To report a Tunisian case of association of Crohn's disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis and antiphospholipid syndrome. METHODS We report the case of a patient presenting a colonic Crohn's disease associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis and antiphospholipid syndrome. Sclerosing cholangitis was diagnosed basing on disturbances of the hepatic biochemical tests. Antiphospholipid syndrome was revealed by a venous thrombosis of the lower limbs. CONCLUSIONS Although the anticardiolipin antibodies were frequently found during the course of primary sclerosing cholangitis, the association with antiphospholipid syndrome is exceptionally described. In the same way, triple association of primary sclerosing cholangitis, Crohn's disease and antiphospholipid syndrome was not brought back in the literature.

D008297 Male Males
D003424 Crohn Disease A chronic transmural inflammation that may involve any part of the DIGESTIVE TRACT from MOUTH to ANUS, mostly found in the ILEUM, the CECUM, and the COLON. In Crohn disease, the inflammation, extending through the intestinal wall from the MUCOSA to the serosa, is characteristically asymmetric and segmental. Epithelioid GRANULOMAS may be seen in some patients.

D015209 Cholangitis, Sclerosing Chronic inflammatory disease of the BILIARY TRACT. It is characterized by fibrosis and hardening of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary ductal systems leading to bile duct strictures, CHOLESTASIS, and eventual BILIARY CIRRHOSIS.

D016736 Antiphospholipid Syndrome The presence of antibodies directed against phospholipids (ANTIBODIES, ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID). The condition is associated with a variety of diseases, notably systemic lupus erythematosus and other connective tissue diseases, thrombopenia, and arterial or venous thromboses. In pregnancy it can cause abortion. Of the phospholipids, the cardiolipins show markedly elevated levels of anticardiolipin antibodies (ANTIBODIES, ANTICARDIOLIPIN). Present also are high levels of lupus anticoagulant (LUPUS COAGULATION INHIBITOR).
