Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 62 year old female diagnosed with complex perianal disease and Crohn's colitis in April 2010. In July 2011, the patient's clinical examination revealed a pyrexia, tachycardia and marked suprapubic tenderness and the abdominal x-ray discovered faecal loading in transverse and ascending colon. The histology confirmed active chronic Crohn's colitis. The postoperative recovery was dull and adalimumab for induction and maintenance therapy was started up.
