ABSTRACT
Background: Crohn’s disease is distinguished by fistulizing transmural involvement that can affect the entire digestive system and the perianal region, most often the distal ileum.Clinical cases: A 23-year-old male patient with history of continuous severe abdominal pain of three hours of evolution, without any other symptom, transferred to a private hospital, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras; where he received immediate management. Previous anamnesis and laboratory studies revealed mild leukocytosis. The exploratory laparotomy revealed perforation of distal ileum. One of the contributor factors of the case was a history of appendectomy performed at 8 years old before he initiated with the described symptoms being diagnosed with acute stage Cohn’s disease.
Conclusion: The importance of these cases lies on the low incidence of intestinal perforation as a debut of this disease according to the literature it is 1-2% of cases and the increased risk in relation to the appendectomy.
