Popis: A 22-year-old man developed an axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy and an episode of pyloroduodenal stenosis at the same time. Rectal biopsy established the diagnosis of Crohn's disease. The etiologic investigations were negative. The neurological and gastrointestinal troubles improved and followed a parallel course. Without vitamin deficiency or metronidazole treatment, peripheral polyneuropathy is a rare event in Crohn's disease. An autoimmune cause is suspected.
