Abstract
SYNOPSIS Young adults with regional enteritis frequently can trace initial symptoms back to childhood. Why then are so few diagnoses of this disease made by paediatricians? The ill-defined character of the presenting signs is one reason. Another is the technic of barium meal examination by radiologists. Follow-through examination of the small bowel is mandatory to identify the early changes in jejunum and ileum which are commonly involved in children. Such examination is seldom performed in adults, and the child who is examined as an adult may have to wait until he is an adult to have his disease recognized.
