A Study on Crohn's Disease Initially Suggested by Perianal Lesions: Comparison with Crohn's Disease Initially Suggested by Abdominal Symptoms.

Pinworm Infestation Mimicking Crohns' Disease

We here report a case of a young man who presented to his general practitioner with diarrhea. Inflammatory bowel disease was suspected and a colonoscopy showed aphthous lesions suggestive of Crohns' disease but biopsies revealed eggs of Enterobius vermicularis. When treated for this parasite, his symptoms were alleviated and a followup colonoscopy revealed a normal colon and distal ileum. Enter...

Perianal condylomata and HPV-negative ileostomal papillomatous lesion in Crohns disease during Infliximab therapy

A 34-year old woman with Crohn’s disease during Infliximab treatment presented with tender verrucous lesions in the perianal area and a small verrucous lesion involving the ileostoma. Perianal lesions were enlarged and had a condylomatous appearance, and had become painful. At the same time, a small grayish-white papillomatous plaque on the upper circumference of the ileostoma, with a sharp out...

Changes of Small Bowel Peristalsis in Patients with Crohns Disease

Purpose: MR enterography (MRE) is one of the mainstays in the evaluation of Crohns disease (CD). A wide variety of studies have attempted to improve the sensitivity and specificity of MRE, all focusing on the evaluation of static images [1]. MRE however allows not only the static display of morphology, but can be combined with ultrafast scanning techniques (cineMRE) for analysis of bowel motili...
