| Popis: | To report the association between desquamative inflammatory vaginitis and Crohn’s disease in 4 women. Extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are a result of a complex interplay of multiple factors and these may or may not follow an independent course. Vulvar sequelae of Crohn’s disease have been described in the literature, but the impact of IBD on vaginal health is not well known. In all 4 patients, Crohn’s disease diagnosis was known to the patients, all of whom were managed by experienced gastroenterologists. However, the association of vaginal syndrome with IBD was not recognized by gynecologic or gastroenterology specialists. Successful management of DIV is unlikely until the bowel inflammatory process is adequately treated. |
