Medical Eponyms

Crohn’s disease (1932)

Crohn’s disease is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by transmural inflammation that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus.

The ulceration of the mucosa is accompanied by a disproportionate connective tissue reaction …associated with the formation of multiple fistulas.

The disease is clinically featured by symptoms resembling those of ulcerative colitis, ie, fever, diarrhea, emaciation, and a mass in the right iliac fossa usually requiring surgical resection.

Son of Sam and Lillian (Gindler) Ginsberg. Extraintestinal manifestations—including arthritis, uveitis, and erythema nodosum—are also frequently observed.
