title: [Polypoid pansinusitis in an unusual, extra-intestinal manifestation of Crohn disease].
abstract: A 17-year-old female patient with known Crohn's disease developed a polypoid pansinusitis and a peritonsillitis during an acute inflammatory phase of her disease. The symptoms observed in the paranasal sinuses and in the oropharynx disappeared after treatment with cortisone and antibiotics was started. The histological findings in the biopsy specimens taken from the affected regions as well as the course of the disease suggest the extraintestinal manifestation of Crohn's disease.
