Abstract
A case of Crohn's disease limited to the vermiform appendix is described. The patient was initially thought to have an appendiceal abscess. The condition was complicated with right ureteral occlusion. Urinary stasis completely ceased after removal of the appendix. Our patient is apparently the first reported case of obstructive uropathy due to isolated Crohn's disease of the appendix.Keywords
