Multiple enterogluteal fistulas, Crohn's disease: A case report

Abstract

Crohn's disease is a type of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of unknown etiology that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus and shows extra-intestinal involvement. It characteristically shows skip lesions. This case report reported in 2018 describes a 40 years old Moroccan female not known to have documented evidence of significant Crohn’s disease. She was diagnosed with multiple fistulas that are a rare entity of patients with Crohn’s disease, which is itself a rare disease in African countries.

Karakteristik olarak atlama lezyonlarını gösterir. 2018'de bildirilen bu vaka raporunda, 40 yaşındaki Faslı kadın, önemli Crohn hastalığı olduğuna dair kanıtları belgelemediği biliniyor. Kendisi Afrika ülkelerinde nadir görülen bir hastalık olan Crohn hastalığı olan hastaların nadir bir varlığı olan çoklu fistül tanısı aldı.
