Popis: Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease are the two major types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The close relationship between inflammation and thrombosis also affects the clinical course and severity of IBD. While venous thrombus is common in IBD, as in many other inflammatory diseases, arterial thrombus, and stroke are rare. Herein, we present a case of a newly diagnosed UC in the active phase of stroke despite being followed up with prophylactic anticoagulant therapy.
