Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) can affect any part of the alimentary tract from the mouth to the anus, with most common site being the terminal ileum.
Case Presentation: A child suffering from undiagnosed Crohn disease (CD), presented with an acute abdominal obstruction due to a large pseudopolyp in the jejunoileal area. At laparotomy, a jejunoileal segment of 45 cm, containing multiple areas of damage to the small intestine, was excised and a primary end - to - end anastomosis was performed.
Conclusion: The coexistence of an intestinal pseudopolyp with undiagnosed Crohn's disease may be the cause of acute abdominal obstruction in children.

- The study involved assessing 588 IBD patients using two validated questionnaires to identify SpA symptoms, revealing significant positive screenings for SpA among these patients.
- Key risk factors for positive SpA screens included being female, older age, a history of smoking, bowel surgery, and exposure to biologic treatments, with a concerning number of undiagnosed cases identified.

Methods: Between April and October 2023, both the DETAIL and IBIS-q questionnaires were administered to consecutive IBD outpatients visiting the University Hospital of Udine, Italy.

Background: Mental health is an overlooked aspect of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patient care with limited data from the developing world. The primary caregiver burden is expected to be high, but has not been evaluated.
Methods: We conducted a questionnaire-based survey of consecutive out-patients with no diagnosed mental health illness (n = 289) and their primary caregivers (n = 247) from 10 centers across eight countries (Bangladesh, India, Iran, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand) of IBD-Emerging Nations' Consortium (ENC).
