Chronic inammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare complication of Ulcerative colitis and it is uncertain whether it is associated with Ulcerative colitis itself or with its treatment. We describe a case of CIDP-like neuropathy as an initial symptom of Ulcerative colitis. A 17 years old male patient presented with symmetrical weakness of both lower extremities with paresthesia of both hand and feet. With impression of AIDP patient was treated with plasmapheresis and discharged on tapering steroid therapy. After 3 months again presented with bilateral weakness of all four limbs associated with diarrhea and fever. Patient was diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis ,so considering previous episode as 1st episode of CIDP and with rare association with Ulcerative colitis . Patient was treated with high dose of steroids and immunosuppressive therapy. Neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms remarkably improved after treatment.

Chyle leak is a rare complication in colorectal surgery. It occurs due to disruption of the lymphatic drainage network in the abdomen or retroperitoneum. We describe the first reported case of chyle leak following total colectomy for inflammatory bowel disease. Our patient underwent total colectomy for severe ulcerative colitis not responsive to medical treatment. Four days postoperatively, a milky fluid was noted in the drainage bag. Analysis of the fluid confirmed chyle. The patient remained well and was successfully managed conservatively with a fat-free elemental diet and was discharged from hospital on day 12 postoperatively. A review of the literature suggests that conservative management with dietary modification is a common and effective management strategy; however, medical and surgical options exist for refractory cases.
