Abstract
Crohn disease is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease which can be suspected when a pacient has diarrhoea, abdominal pains, anorexia, weight losses, fever and other symptoms that reflect inflammation and fibrosis. The clinical status is completed with extraintestinal complications and perianal manifestations as abscesses, fistulae and fissures. Young patients with growth problems and secondary sexual development delays are very exposed to this disease. A correct medical treatment and a periodic monitoring of the clinical evolution lead to increasing the rate of remission and lower the mortality.
