Abstract:
Free perforation of the small bowel in Crohn's disease is a rare event. The reported incidence is between 1 to 2 per cent, and only in 25 per cent of the cases it appears as the first manifestation of the disease. A case is reported, which we consider is unique, due to the fact that within one year there had been three independent episodes of perforation as her first manifestation of the disease.
