Abstract

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the main chronic disorders related to inflammatory bowel disease. The reasons are not yet clarified, but epidemiological studies suggest the involvement of immunology, genetics and environmental causes. In addition, Crohn’s disease can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, and it is characterized for being a granulomatous, fibered and segmental disorder, preferentially of the ileum terminal region and the colon. Due to the difficult to understand its etiology and lack of information to obtain a precise number of its incidence, sometimes the treatment is not always adequate. Thus, the present work had as objective to report a Crohn’s disease case in adult, and also to expand the knowledge about this pathology.
