Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a lifelong, chronic inflammatory intestinal disorder that is characterized by episodes of inflammatory activity that may be followed by periods of clinical remission. Active small bowel CD may involve severe limitations of the patient, i.e., severe abdominal pain from intestinal stenosis, malnutrition from intestinal inflammation, anemia from chronic blood loss, and in some patients repeated bowel resections resulting in devastating short bowel syndrome.In this case report, a 32-year-old man with known CD was admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain, constipation, nausea, and vomiting. Double-balloon enteroscopy was performed to investigate the small bowel, and isolated CD of the small intestine with several high-grade strictures was detected.
