title: Extensive abdominal aortitis in a patient with Crohn's disease.
abstract: A 36-year-old woman with past medical history of Crohn's disease presented to our hospital with fever and back pain. Initial computed tomography (CT) demonstrated extensive abdominal aortitis. Here, we discuss the very rare association between Crohn's disease and aortitis, in addition to clinical and radiographic follow-up for our patient.
