Crohn's disease and multiple sclerosis: a single case report.
A case of the association of multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease in a 47 year old patient is reported. A possible relationship between these two diseases has been widely documented, both sporadically and at a familial level. Albeit in the absence of precise experimental data, it is legitimate to presume that the two diseases share common pathogenetic traits.
