Background and Aims: The reported frequency of extraintestinal manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease varies from 6% to 47%. We evaluated extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease patients who were followed up in our clinic.Materials and Methods: The epidemiological findings, disease duration, extraintestinal manifestations, and complications were evaluated between April 1998 and April 2008, retrospectively. Results:Four hundred and ninety-four patients (254 males; mean age, 38,63±13,32 years; range, 16-78) were evaluated: 283 (57,3%) with ulcerative colitis, 194 (39,3%) with Crohn's disease and 17 (3.4%) with indeterminate colitis. The mean disease duration was 70,66±75,93 months (1-1008 months), and the mean follow-up was 36,40±45,09 months (1-288 months). The extraintestinal manifestation rate was 19.2% (95/494) in the whole group, and included arthritis in 32 (6,5%), hepatobiliary in 13 (2,6%), skin in 13 (2,6%), multiple extraintestinal manifestations in 16 (3,2%), renal calculus in 12 (2,4%), thromboembolic events in 5 (1%), and eye involvement in 4 (0,8%). Complications were observed in a total of 78 patients (15,8%). Complication rates were as follows: 29 (5,9%) abscess, 15 (3%) perforation, 5 (1%) malignancy, 1 (0,2%) toxic megacolon, and 15 (2,6%) others. The complication rate was higher in Crohn's disease than ulcerative colitis (29,3% vs 3,6%). There was a positive correlation between extraintestinal manifestations and the complication rate in ulcerative colitis (p=0,007, r=0,173), and a positive correlation was observed between colonic involvement and extraintestinal manifestations in Crohn's disease (p=0,04, r=0,144). Conclusions: The most common extraintestinal manifestation was arthritis, and the most frequently seen complications were abscess and perforation. The complication rate was higher in Crohn's disease than ulcerative colitis. Extraintestinal manifestations may enhance the complication rate in UC. In Crohn's disease, the extraintestinal manifestations rate is higher in colonic involvement than in ileocolonic and ileal involvement. Colonic involvement in Crohn's disease is a predictive factor for extraintestinal manifestations
