It frequently involves the ileum, colon, and anorectum. A 66-year-old man with CD had undergone a partial intestinal resection of the ileum for CD 27 years previously, and had been hospitalized several times, including two months prior to referral. The patient was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain and distension. A computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated an anastomotic stenosis with active inflammation and proximal intestinal extension. Colonoscopic examination revealed no abnormalities in the colon or rectum. A contrast Gastrografin enema revealed a stenosis in the ileum and a tight stricture at 3 cm with inflammation. We performed an ileocecal resection for an anastomotic stenosis due to possible recurrence of CD. Pathological examination showed no evidence of CD activity at the anastomotic region, indicating no recurrence of CD.}, pages = {251--255}, title = {Case Report of a Crohn's Disease (CD) Patient with Anastomotic Stenosis Unrelated to Postoperative Recurrence of CD}, volume = {23}, year = {} }
