Crohn's disease is an inflammatory condition that affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is called a chronic condition because it lasts a long time and is a long-term medical condition. As yet there is no cure. Crohn's disease causes changes in the bowel wall, which can range from mild redness to a severe state in which all the layers of the bowel wall become inflamed and so become thickened, deeply ulcerated and deformed. Fistulas (abnormal openings connecting the bowel to the skin surface near the anus) can develop, and obstruction of the bowel can occur.

Crohns disease: Regional enteritis
A subacute chronic enteritis, of unknown cause, involving the terminal ileum and less frequently other parts of the gastrointestinal tract; characterized by patchy deep ulcers that may cause fistulas, and narrowing and thickening of the bowel by fibrosis and lymphocytic infiltration, with noncaseating tuberculoid granulomas that also may be found in regional lymph nodes; symptoms include fever, diarrhea, cramping abdominal pain, and weight loss.
