Abstract

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disease that can extend from the mouth to the anus. Transmural involvement may lead to fistulas and abscesses of the gastrointestinal tract. Rarely, CD can mimic vulvovaginal diseases and fistulize into gynecologic structures. As this may be the first sign of CD in the pediatric population, it is important for providers to consider CD in the differential diagnosis when addressing vulvovaginal complaints to ensure prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
