Abstract

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder of the GI system that primarily affects young individuals of reproductive age and is often associated with pregnancy. This case report describes the successful outcome of a pregnancy in a 32-year-old primigravida woman with CD, who had undergone enterectomy five years prior. At the time of conception and throughout the entire pregnancy, the disease was in remission under pharmacological treatment. The pregnancy, under systematic monitoring, progressed smoothly for the mother, fetus, and neonate. After completion of the 38th week of gestation, an elective cesarean section was performed without complications. The puerperium was uneventful. Eight months later, the disease remained in complete remission. Following the case description, a brief review of the literature on CD in pregnancy is provided.
