Core Tip	Case reports suggest that isotretinoin administration may trigger Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. This hypothesis has raised great scientific interest and numerous propositions addressing the pathophysiology of this potent association have been made. However, demographic data do not support a correlation between isotretinoin and inflammatory bowel disease. The current case describes a patient who developed ulcerative colitis while on isotretinoin administration. We hope that this case report may contribute to future epidemiological studies with scope to clarify the association between isotretinoin and Inflammatory Bowel diseases and more specifically ulcerative colitis.
