title: [Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis].
abstract: Extremely variable in their clinical expression, inflammatory bowl diseases evolve by flare-ups interspersed with phases of remission. Complications can be severe, sometimes requiring surgery. While treatments have evolved considerably, therapeutic patient education plays an important role in the therapeutic approach.
