[Crohn's disease and pregnancy. A case report].
The name "Inflammatory Bowel Disease", of Anglo-Saxon origin, has been worked wide used in the medical language to name two nosologic entities: "Ulcerative colitis" (CU) and "Crohn's Disease" (EC). Both affect primarily young people, with approximately equal male to female ratio, although there is slight preponderance of females. In early as 90's, the development of ulcerative colitis during pregnancy had been described as potentially fatal complication, based on this observation therapeutic abortion was frequently recommended; now a days five questions in these patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (EII) that want to become pregnant have to be made: 1. Will the patient have more trouble getting pregnant? 2. Will the same (EC) affect the prognosis of pregnancy? 3. Will pregnancy affect the disease? 4. Which will be the treatment of the (EC) in pregnant women? 5. Will the treatment affect the fetus of the pregnancy? The authors present a case of Crohn's disease of the colon, in a patient of 24 years old with her first pregnancy. This case offered the opportunity to discuss problems and questions that took place in this kind of circumstances as mentioned earlier.
