Abstract

We report the case of a 29-year-old male with structuring ileocolic Crohn's disease (CD), diagnosed in 2007 and treated with oral azathioprine, oral mesalazine and intravenous infliximab, without any other surgical or medical history of interest. He presented to the Emergency Room with abdominal distention and pain, nausea, vomiting and motility problems of a three-day duration. An abdominal computerized tomography using intravenous contrast was performed.
