Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with unknown etiology that can affect any part of gastrointestinal tract. Recent studies have reported representative endoscopic findings of gastric lesions in CD, namely, bamboo joint-like (BJL) appearance, which is characterized by swollen longitudinal folds transversed by erosive fissures or linear furrows and is most frequently found at cardiac area in the stomach (Figure 1, 2). However, it remains unclear whether this gastric finding is observed in remission stage of CD as well as in active stage.
