A member asked:
How often is apendicitis misdiagnosed as chrons disease.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not uncommonly: Crohn's disease frequently involves the terminal ileum which is right next to the appendix. Crohn's inflammation here can easily be mistaken for appendicitis. A ct scan before surgery can often differentiate between the two.
