Unique ID: D003424
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003424
Annotation: coord IM with ILEITIS (IM) or COLITIS (IM) only if site is particularly discussed; usually chronic so do not coord with CHRONIC DISEASE
Scope Note: A chronic transmural inflammation that may involve any part of the DIGESTIVE TRACT from MOUTH to ANUS, mostly found in the ILEUM, the CECUM, and the COLON. In Crohn disease, the inflammation, extending through the intestinal wall from the MUCOSA to the serosa, is characteristically asymmetric and segmental. Epithelioid GRANULOMAS may be seen in some patients.
