Definition

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which can affect any part from the mouth to the anus, though it most commonly impacts the small intestine and colon. The disease is characterized by transmural inflammation, which can lead to complications such as strictures, fistulas, and abscesses, and typically requires ongoing medical management and sometimes surgical intervention.
