    Abstract

    A 25-year-old woman was hospitalized repeatedly during a 5-year period due to abdominal pain, change in stool pattern, high CRP and leucocytosis. Ultrasound and small bowel examination showed oedema of terminal ileum, and morbus Crohn was initially suspected. A later ileocolonoscopy with biopsy and a pill cam capsule endoscopy were normal. In all cases the condition normalized spontaneously. A thorough interview revealed a recreational use of cocaine, and diary recordings confirmed the association between her abdominal pain and cocaine use. Ischaemic enteritis has previously been described in cocaine users.
