Abstract
Endoscopic dilatation is a treatment option for patients with Crohn's disease suffering from stenosis in relation to an ileorectal anastomosis. We present a case of a patient with Crohn's disease who was admitted with acute obstructive symptoms due to a stensosis of the ileorectal anastomosis. The patient was septic. We performed a successful endoscopic dilatation in the acute phase and the patient was discharged few days after an uneventful recovery. Endoscopic dilatation of an ileorectal anastomis in patients with Crohn's disease is a treatment option in the acute setting when performed by experienced endoscopists.
