Abstract
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease can have a considerable impact on the adolescent's physical, psychological and social development, all of which need to be considered when supporting children and adolescents at diagnosis and throughout the disease pathway.
