MOSQUERA-KLINGER, Gabriel; YEPES-MADRID, Nathalie y CARVAJAL-GUTIERREZ, Jhon Jaime. Crohn’s disease with extensive involvement and rare extraintestinal manifestations: A case report. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, suppl.1, pp.85-90. Epub 21-Feb-2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.605.
Crohn’s disease (CD) is considered an immunologically mediated entity that involves the digestive tract. It is characterized by transmural inflammation and can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the oral cavity to the anus. Although it is recognized that its severity varies, extensive and multiple organ failure is unusual. We present the case of a young patient, who initially presented with pulmonary symptoms associated with CD. Years later, digestive and bile duct symptoms appeared. Treatment was based on anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha antibody therapy, resulting in a satisfactory clinical response. The clinical relevance of this case is its full-blown presentation, which includes extensive gastrointestinal involvement and rare extraintestinal manifestations.
