Crohn's Disease of the Mouth

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...

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...

A brief account of the pathology and pathogenesis of the cutaneous manifestations of Crohns disease

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a lifelong condition, which may occur in patients of any age. Prior to confirming a diagnosis of IBD, clinicians may face unusual non gastrointestinal symptoms. The extra intestinal manifestations of Crohn's disease (CD) may develop prior to signs of gastrointestinal involvement. Many of these extraintestinal clinical signs overlap with those seen in patients...
