İleoçekal Crohn hastalığının kronolojik seyrinde striktür gelişişiminin endoskopik bulguları

Öz

Crohn hastalığı gastrointestinal traktusun her yerini etkileyebilen kronik granülamatöz inflamatuvar bir hastalıktır. Hastalık etiyopatogenezinde genetik ve çevresel etmenler suçlanmaktadır. Hastalığın kliniği heterojen olup olgular penetran hastalık veya stenozla başvurabilmektedirler. Bu olguda ileoçekal tutulumlu Crohn olgusununda stenoz gelişiminin kolonoskopik bulguları sunulmuştur.

Chronologic and colonoscopic follow-up of ileocecal Crohn's disease with progression to stricture

Abstract

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory granulomatous process that usually involves different sites in the intestinal tract. Genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role in its etiology and pathogenesis. The disorder has a heterogeneous clinical expression and occasionally presents with stricture formation and/or penetrating disease. We present herein a case with recently diagnosed Crohn's disease. Repeated colonoscopic evaluations of the patient demonstrated the progression of inflammatory ileocecal Crohn's disease to the stricture.
