Abstract
Persons (15) in which the same part of the colon was affected by both diverticular disease and Crohn''s disease were studied. When Crohn''s disease affects an area of colon where diverticula are present, radiological examination may show a diminution in number or disappearance of the diverticula with progress of the Crohn''s disease. With improvement in the Crohn''s disease diverticula may appear.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
