Adalimumab Induced Aseptic Meningitis and Focal Partial Seizures in Patient with Crohn’s Disease

Abstract

Tumor necrosis factor α inhibitors (TNFα-i) are a commonly prescribed class of medications for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. With the increasing use of this medication class, some uncommon adverse effects have been reported. We present a case of a young male recently prescribed adalimumab for Crohn's disease who developed aseptic meningitis with associated focal partial seizures.
