Jack Mlabasati, Kara Raphael, Marc Greenwald, Deepika Savant, Keith Sultan
TL;DR
A rare intestinal condition causing recurring blockages is described in a young man initially thought to have Crohn's disease.
Contribution
The paper reports a new clinical case of cryptogenic multifocal ulcerating stenosing enteropathy with small bowel obstruction.
Findings
The patient had multiple small intestinal strictures and ulcerations consistent with cryptogenic multifocal ulcerating stenosing enteropathy.
The condition was initially misdiagnosed as Crohn's disease.
The case highlights the importance of considering rare enteropathies in young patients with bowel obstruction.
Abstract
Cryptogenic multifocal ulcerating stenosing enteropathy is a rare idiopathic small bowel enteropathy characterized by multiple small intestinal strictures and superficial ulcerations, often with clubbing. We present a case of a 25-year-old man who originally initially presented with small bowel obstruction believed to be secondary to suspected Crohn's disease who was ultimately diagnosed with cryptogenic multifocal ulcerating stenosing enteropathy.
