Crohn’S Diseases

Crohn's disease may affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract; however, isolated duodenal involvement is rather rare. It still remains a complex clinical entity with a controversial management of the disease. Initially, patients with duodenal Crohn' s disease (DCD) are managed with a combination of antiacid and immunosuppressive therapy. However, medical treatment fails in the majority of DCD patients, and surgical intervention is required in case of complicated disease. Options for surgical management of complicated DCD include bypass, resection, or stricturoplasty procedures. In this paper, we reported a 33-year-old male patient, who was diagnosed with isolated duodenal Crohn’s diseases, and reviewed the surgical options in the literature.

Duodenojejunal Bypass

Lay Summary Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory condition of the intestine with an unknown cause and can result in inflammation, narrowing (stricuture) or penetrating disease (fistula that inflammation goes through the wall of the bowel and into another structure). Unfortunately Crohn’s disease can affect anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, all the way from the mouth to the anus. Sometimes Crohn’s disease can affect the duodenum, the portion of the small intestine just after the stomach. When Crohn’s disease is in the duodenum and causes narrowing, it is difficult to treat medically, and often needs a surgical intervention. When the narrowing is short, less than a few centimeters, the surgeon can do a strictureplasty which means opening the intestine across the stricture and sewing it back shut in the horitzontal direction to make the opening larger. When the narrowing, or stricture, is longer, then the surgeon may have to connect the stomach to another part of the small intestine (gastrojejunostomy) to avoid or bypass the duodenum, or may have to perform a large reconstructive operation to remove that portion of the small intestine. the challenge is that those operations have significant potential complications associated with them. Therefore, sometimes a bypass operation can be done instead to connect the duodenum to the next part of the small intestine, the jejunum. In this manuscript the authors describe this surgical technique is a 38 year old male with Crohn’s disease who was referred with multiple areas of narrowing in his intestine.

CD is characterised by a chronic full thickness inflammatory process that can affect any part ofthe gastrointestinal tract from the lips to the anal margin. We present a case of acute abdomenadmitted in CMH Rangpur. Exploratory laparotomy was performed and diseased resectedsegments were confirmed as Crohn's Disease on histopathology.
