Crohn's Disease
Crohn's Disease, also termed ileitis, regional enteriis,
or granulomatous colitis, is a chronic inflammation of the
intestine, often involving the lower section of the small
intestine called the ileum. Crohn's disease is relatively
rare and can often be controlled with medical management.
Around 70% of Crohn's sufferers will require surgery at some
point, typically to correct obstruction, abscesses, or perforation.
While surgical treatment can alleviate the symptoms it does
not cure Crohn's disease.
