[Corneal pathology in Crohn's disease: electron microscopic study of a case]
Abstract:
Corneal pathology in Crohn's disease is relatively rare. We had the opportunity to take a biopsy of a bullous mass in the cornea of a man with Crohn's disease. Analysis of electronic pictures shows an aberrant structure of the nucleus, a very dense nuclear membrane and fragmented nucleoles. The cytoplasm contains many patches without membrane; the basal membrane is composed of filaments, and the stroma possesses figures of fingerprint-type. This unclassified description of the cornea might be typical for Crohn's disease.

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.
