Crohn's disease of the oesophagus. A case report.
Crohn's disease is described as a disease which may involve the entire gastro-intestinal tract from the mouth to the anus. Involvement of the oesophagus is well recognized but relatively rare. We wish to describe the unusual clinical presentation of intense dysphagia in a patient who was proved to have occult ileocolonic Crohn's disease.
