Deception in Crohn's Disease: A Case of Cryptogenic Multifocal Ulcerous Stenosing Enteritis
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology and Treatment - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Cryptogenic multifocal ulcerous stenosing enteritis is a rare idiopathic condition, characterized by multiple small intestinal fibrous strictures with superficial ulcerations. It typically has a chronic or relapsing clinical course and has been mainly reported from Asia and Europe. We report a case of cryptogenic multifocal ulcerous stenosing enteritis (CMUSE) in a patient with chronic anemia with melena and intermittent abdominal pain. The clinicopathological features of CMUSE are different from other small bowel disease. Our patient had a remarkable response to adalimumab. The area of gene mutations in CMUSE is promising but need further investigation.
