Overall Comment

This young female patient presented with chronic diarrhea for 1 ½ years prior to her consultation in this hospital. The endoscopic findings were classical of typical Crohn’s ileo-colitis: deep longitudinal ulcer with skip lesions and cobblestone appearance. She was started on steroid, azathioprine and was planned for biologic therapy.
