Myopericarditis is a rare but important manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease. It can be the sole or one of several extracolonic manifestations of either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Because of the therapeutic implications, we report a patient with ulcerative colitis associated with myopericarditis, with a review of the literature documenting this association.
