The association between inflammatory conditions of the eye and Crohn's disease is due to many Crohn's disease patients having genetic markers such as HLA-B07, HLA-B27 and HLA-DRB1*0103. [57] Additionally, cytokines IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17 which are produced in the bowel enter the circulatory system and travel to the eyes to trigger inflammation.

Several factors may influence the development of the disease, such as local colonic ischemia, fecal stasis, or mucosal prolapse. SCAD shares some features with inflammatory bowel disease, including the increase of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha during active disease, and decrease in TNF during health improvement. The pathogenesis of SCAD ...
