Although it can involve any segment of the gastrointestinal tract, Crohn's disease confined to the gastroduodenum is extremely rare. We report the story of a 20-years old male patient admitted for pyloric obstruction that developed despite medical treatment. Clinical manifestations necessitated operative treatment; Polya-gastrectomy was performed. Histology identified Crohn's disease and inflammatory changes as the cause of pyloric obstruction. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. The lesson of this case is, that if duodenal Crohn's disease would have been recognized preoperatively, gastrectomy could have been avoided. We review the literature and discuss treatment options for gastroduodenal Crohn's disease. |
