Problem of differential diagnosis between Crohn's disease and colitis in Behcet's disease: a case report

Crohn's disease is a chronic intestinal inflammation which can involve all the gastrointestinal tract, but it prefers the terminal ileum and ascendant colon. It is often associated with autoimmunity systemic findings (oral ulcer, arthritis). Beh double dagger et's disease is a systemic vasculitis of the small vessels. Its intestinal involvement causes bleeding diarrhoea until possible perforation. It's not easy clinically to distinguish between Behcet's colitis and Crohn's disease. We describe a case report in which the problem of differential diagnosis is still open after two years from the first findings.
