Abstract

Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory disorder and may affect any part of gastrointestinal tract. The signs and symptoms of Crohn’s disease are similar to many other abdominal disorders. Crohn’s disease does not typically present as an acute abdomen. However, Crohn’s disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with abdominal pain, especially relevant to patients with a long history of vague abdominal complaints and those with unexplained weight loss or growth retardation. In this case report, we present such a patient of acute abdomen admitted to us after appendectomy and diagnosed Crohn’s disease finally.
