Zusammenfassung
Wir berichten einen Patienten mit langjährig bestehender Colitis ulcerosa (CU), der
im Anschluss an einen akuten Schub der Kolitis eine schwere neurologische Erkrankung
unter Einschluss des peripheren und zentralen Nervensystems entwickelte. Proteinase-3(PR-3)-positive
atypische antineutrophile zytoplasmatische Autoantikörper (ANCA) waren im Serum des
Patienten präsent. ZNS-Vaskulitis und demyelinisierende Erkrankungen wie die akute
demyelinisierende Enzephalomyelitis (ADEM) sind die wichtigsten Differenzialdiagnosen
für die ZNS-Manifestation. Die Kasuistik ist nicht beweisend, kann aber die Annahme
der Existenz (auto-)immun getriggerter neurologischer Manifestationen bei CU weiterunterstützen.
Abstract
A patient with ulcerative colitis (UC) is reported who developed a severe neurologic
disorder involving the peripheral and the central nervous system. Atypical antineutrophil
cytoplasmatic autoantibodies (ANCA) were found that were positive for proteinase 3
(PR3). Cerebral vasculitis and a demyelinating disorder like acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
(ADEM) were the main differential diagnoses for the central nervous system abnormalities.
Although there is no proof of a causal relationship, the case history supports the
assumption that UC may lead to (auto)immunologically triggered neurologic disease.
