Abstract:
A 48 years old male patient was admitted in the Risquez Hospital of Caracas, Venezuela presenting intestinal obstruction. An exploratory laparotomy was performed and two stenotic lesions in the small intestine were found. One of them in the proximal jejunum and the other in distal ileum. Both were resected and terminal jejunum-jejunum anastomosis and terminal jejunum-ileum anastomosis were performed. Pathological diagnosis was Crohn's Disease. Post operative evolution was satisfactory and four years after the patient is well.
