Abstrakt: The article focuses on the pulmonary manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It was cited that IBD has several extraintestinal manifestations, including upper airway disease, parenchymal involvement, such as bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia, interstitial lung disease and pericarditis. Chest radiographs show bilateral patchy airspace opacities, while computed tomography scans often demonstrate the opacities to be pleural-based.
