Abstract:
A case of ileal stenosis due to foreign body induced chronic granulomatous inflammation simulating Crohn's disease with onset on an ileo-ileostomy carried out 23 years before due to iatrogenic rupture of ileal loop following clandestine abortion is reported. After noting the problem of attributing to the foreign body alone responsibility for the stenosis, the hypothesis that it might have been an acute occurrence of Crohn's disease or the expression of an association of Crohn's disease and granulomatous inflammation due to surgical material is advanced. This for the moment is the only plausible cause. It is concluded that for accurate nosological classification and, therefore, definitive clinical diagnosis, prolonged clinical control of the patient is indispensable.

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
