For many years there has been a suggested association between multiple sclerosis (MS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Aside from their common epidemiological and immunological similarities, there appears to be an association between the incidence of both diseases coexisting.

Our report underscores the importance clinicians of maintaining a high degree of suspicion about the potential association of these conditions among these patient populations.
