Abstract
I have reported the 11th case of Crohn's disease initially symptomatic during pregnancy. The complication rate is very high in this rare clinical syndrome. Of the ten previously described patients, five had surgical intervention during pregnancy. Seven of twelve infants and two of the 11 patients ultimately died. The prognosis is probably no better now than it was when the entity was initially described 40 years ago.Keywords
