Abstract
Clinical observation of inflammatory bowel disease in 25 y.o. woman is represented. During two years clinical data, endoscopic view and results of histologic examination of intestinal mucosa did not enable to differentiate Crohn’s disease from ulcerative colitis. Infectious diseases, amyloidosis were excluded. Only with computed tomography enterography pathognomonic changes in the small intestine and the abdominal cavity were identified as pathognomonic for Crohn’s disease. Obtained data allowed us to correct the treatment and reasonably refuse surgery required for ulcerative colitis.
