Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) , which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn′s disease (CD) , is a nonspecific chronic intestinal inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Extraintestinal manifestations are relatively common in IBD. Due to the insufficient understanding of IBD-related muscle lesions, patients are easily misdiagnosed or neglected by clinicians. In this review, we discuss the mechanism, research status and progress of IBD-related muscle lesions, in order to provide a better understanding of the diagnosis and treatment for the clinicians.
