Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is primarily known for its gastrointestinal manifestations. However, emerging evidence suggests a potential link between IBD and an increased risk of stroke, likely mediated by chronic systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and a prothrombotic state. Despite this growing recognition, the exact mechanisms and extent of this association remain unclear, highlighting a critical knowledge gap. This review aims to systematically analyze the association between IBD and stroke, exploring the underlying vascular mechanisms and identifying potential risk factors contributing to cerebrovascular events in IBD patients. A comprehensive literature search was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines across PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using keywords such as "IBD," "Stroke," "Chronic inflammation," "Cerebrovascular risk," and "Gut-brain axis." After screening 150 studies and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, six studies were included in the final synthesis. The findings suggest that chronic inflammation in IBD plays a key role in increasing stroke risk through endothelial dysfunction and a heightened prothrombotic state, with additional risk factors such as atrial fibrillation during active IBD flares further contributing to cerebrovascular events. While biologic therapies, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors, are effective in reducing systemic inflammation, their impact on mitigating stroke risk remains inconclusive. Given the potential role of IBD as an independent risk factor for stroke, a multidisciplinary approach to management is crucial. Addressing modifiable risk factors through pharmacologic interventions such as biologics, statins, and antiplatelet agents, alongside lifestyle modifications, could help reduce cerebrovascular complications in IBD patients. Further research is needed to explore personalized therapeutic strategies and establish clearer preventive guidelines for this at-risk population.
