Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are characterized by cumbersome symptoms with varying severity. However, regardless of the intensity of disease activity the patients may experience extraintestinal manifestations which further deteriorate the patients' quality of life. According to the literature, nearly half of the patients with IBD will develop at least one extraintestinal manifestation in their lifespan. Apart from the most common and often well-surveilled such as articular, ocular, dermatologic or hepatic entities, the neurological and psychiatric ones are often disregarded or not sought. We reviewed the latest literature on the most frequent disorders occurring in patients with IBD covering these two fields.
