[An interesting case in the pediatric polyclinic. Crohn disease with involvement of the distal esophagus, stomach and duodenum].
Weight loss, day-time sleep and loss of appetite were leading symptoms in a thirteen years old girl, in whom consecutively the diagnosis of Crohn's disease of the stomach and the duodenum was made after endoscopy and biopsy were performed. There were no complaints of diarrhea, abdominal pain or other symptoms suspicious for this chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
