Abstract
crohn's disease is a form of ileitis, or inflammation of the ileum, which is the terminal portion of the small intestine. It is characterized by abdominal pain, ulceration, and fibrous tissue buildup in the terminal portion of the ileum. This is a relatively new disease, with proper medical diagnoses dating back only to the 1960s. Although crohn, Ginzberg, and Oppenheimer described it in 1932 as a chronic, low grade inflammation of the terminal ileum, in 1960 it was recognized that the same disorder affected the colon and had been confused with ulcerative colitis. So, crohn's disease is newly recognized, with a defined clinical and pathological description dating back only to the 1960s (Chiodini, 1989).
