Abstract

Extraintestinal manifestations are well described in inflammatory bowel disease. A 63 year-old male was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of dyspnea and dry cough. Echocardiography revealed minimal pericardial effusion. He was prescribed ibuprofen 600 mg twice on a daily basis. Four days later, he was admitted to the hospital due to palpitations, chest pain and increased dyspnea. From the medical history results, it was clear that the patient had ulcerative colitis and did not have medical treatment for the last sixth months. He was treated with oral prednisolone and mesalamine. Within six days, his bowel symptoms as well as his cardiac symptoms improved for the better, and the patient was discharged in good condition on day six after his admission to hospital. Pericardial effusion was completely resolved. Ulcerative colitis, which may not be detected as an underlying cause, should be considered in pericardial effusion cases as differential diagnosis. Key words: Pericardial Effusion; Ulcerative Colitis; Corticosteroid Theraphy.

Abstract

İnflamatuar barsak hastalıklarında barsak dışı belirtiler iyi tanımlanmasına rağmen kardiyak tutulum nadiren bildirilmiştir. 63 yaşında erkek hasta nefes darlığı ve kuru öksürük şikayeti ile kardiyoloji polikliniğine başvurdu. Ekokardiyografide minimal perikardiyal effüzyon vardı. Günde iki kez 600 mg İbuprofen reçete edildi. Hasta çarpıntı, göğüs ağrısı ve nefes darlığında artma olması üzerine dört gün sonra hastaneye başvurdu. Kardiyoloji servisine yatırıldı. Tıbbi hikayesinde ülseratif kolit tanısı olduğu ve altı aydır tedavi almadığı belirlendi. Tekrar yapılan ekokardiyografide effüzyonun arttığı ve sağ atriyuma bası olduğu tespit edildi. Oral prednizolon ve mesalamin ile tedavi edildi. Altı gün içinde göğüs belirtilerine ilaveten barsak belirtileri düzeldi ve hastaneye başvurduktan altı gün sonra iyi durumda taburcu edildi. Bu sürede perikardiyal effüzyon tamamen gerilemişti. Nedeni tespit edilemeyen perikardiyal effüzyon vakalarında ayırıcı tanıda ülseratif kolit mutlaka düşünülmelidir. Anahtar kelimeler: Perikardiyal Effüzyon; Ülseratif Kolit; Kortikosteroid Tedavisi.
