Increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures has been reported in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) primarily because of the inflammatory process itself and corticosteroid therapy (1,2). Vertebral fractures (VF) have rarely been reported in children with IBD, and only in the case of Crohn disease (CD) (3). We describe a case of vertebral compression fractures complicating the course of ulcerative colitis (UC) in a 7-year-old girl with increased sensitivity to corticosteroids.

Abstract
Increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures has been reported in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) primarily because of the inflammatory process itself and corticosteroid therapy (1,2). Vertebral fractures (VF) have rarely been reported in children with IBD, and only in the case of Crohn disease (CD) (3). We describe a case of vertebral compression fractures complicating the course of ulcerative colitis (UC) in a 7-year-old girl with increased sensitivity to corticosteroids.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
