• Oral Crohn’s disease
  • Aphthous ulcers are the most common feature of Crohn’s disease in the oral cavity.
  • Oral lesions parallel intestinal disease activity and respond to treatment directed at intestinal disease.
  • Topical hydrocortisone or topical sucralfate may provide symptomatic relief.
• Gastroduodenal Crohn’s disease
  • It is rare and occurs in association with intestinal disease.
  • Gastric antrum and duodenum are most commonly affected.
  • The symptoms include epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting.
  • PPI may provide symptomatic relief. Pentasa is partly released in the proximal small bowel and may theoretically help in duodenal disease.
  • However, steroid is usually necessary and is effective. Immunomodulators may be needed.
