ABSTRACT

Crohn’s Disease (CD) is a multisystemic disease which may affect gastrointestinal system transmural and segmental and patients may present with any kind of symptoms. An investigation on 15-year-old patient who presented with severe abdominal pain revealed narrowing in right colon and found consistent with CD. The patient who devepoled an abcess fistulized to the skin during the follow-up showed improvement after treatment with corticosteroid, azathioprine, mesalazine, methotrexate, infliximab, and antibiotics. During follow-up, intra-abdominal abcesses and narrowing of the colon regressed along with patient’s symptoms. We wanted to present this case where our patient was diagnosed with CD after presenting with colon stricture which is more commonly seen as late stage complication in adult CD.
