A member asked:
I hear there is a link between appendicitis and crohn's disease. is that true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Crohn's ileitis: Can be mistaken for acute appendicitis clinically. These days, ct scan should be able to differentiate the two. One does not cause the other. It is possible to get isolated crohn's appendicitis, but very rare.
