Abstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and recurrent gastrointestinal inflammatory disorder, often accompanied by extraintestinal manifestations (EIM), which can seriously affect the quality of life of IBD patients and sometimes even threaten their lives. Lung injury is a rare and easily overlooked extraintestinal manifestation of IBD. IBD combined with lung injury includes airway diseases, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary embolism, pleural diseases, and drug-related lung injury. This article summarizes the progress in the types, clinical characteristics, and treatment of IBD combined with lung injury, aiming to provide a strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of IBD combined with lung injury. In the future, multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment will become the main diagnosis and treatment mode of IBD complicated with lung injury.

Key words: Inflammatory bowel disease, Extraintestinal manifestations, Lung Injury, Multidisciplinary team collaboration
