Abstract

Arterial stroke is a rare complication of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and so far there are no guidelines for the treatment of stroke in these patients. The pathogenesis of thrombosis in UC remains uncertain. This case is one of the few published reports on the relationship between stroke associated with UC and the factor V Leiden mutation.
