Abstract

Crohn's disease is a granulomatous inflammatory bowel disease. Its pathologic findings include non-contiguous chronic inflammation and non-caseating granulomas sometimes with extra-intestinal localizations. Nasal manifestations of Crohn's disease are quite rare. They are characterized by chronic mucosal inflammation, obstruction, bleeding and occasionally septal perforation. The authors describe the case of a 4-year-old girl with Crohn's disease with recurrent epistaxis and narrowing of the right choana, secondary to fibrous tissue.
