Crohn
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Pulmonology
Background:
- Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
- Tracheo-bronchitis is an uncommon extra-intestinal manifestation of Crohn's disease.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of tracheo-bronchitis secondary to Crohn's disease.
- To emphasize the importance of considering airway involvement in Crohn's disease patients with respiratory symptoms.
Main Methods:
- Case report with radiological and bronchoscopic evaluation.
- Pathological examination of granulomatous inflammation.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated radiological and bronchoscopic evidence of tracheo-bronchitis.
- Confirmed pathology-proven granulomatous inflammation.
Conclusions:
- Tracheo-bronchitis can be a manifestation of Crohn's disease.
- Investigating airway involvement is crucial for Crohn's disease patients presenting with new respiratory symptoms.

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.
