Abstract
What is Crohn’s disease? Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease in which the wall of one or more segments of the gastrointestinal tract becomes thickened, inflamed and swollen. The thickening may lead to narrowing of the intestine in that area. Patches of Crohn’s disease inflammation may involve only a few centimetres of the intestine or may be much longer, over a metre or more. Any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus can be affected and there may be more than one area of involvement at one time.
