Abstract
|
|
|
crohn disease is a chronic transmural inflammatory disease that may involve any
portion of the gastrointestinal tract.
An increased incidence of Crohn disease in the general population has been reported,
along with a greater than threefold increase of Crohn disease in children under the age
of 16 years noted in a recent study.
Crohn disease may be seen as early as infancy, but the most common pediatric age of
onset is during the teenage period.
We experienced a case of Crohn disease in 6 year old male child complained
abdominal pain, oral aphthous ulcers, arthralgia, anorexia, and growth failure.
A brief review of related literature is also presented.
