Abstract

In summary, we describe a young girl with atypical presentation of isolated gastric Crohn's disease. In atypical cases with non-conclusive clinical, endoscopic and pathological findings, the ASCA test could be helpful in the diagnostic process. Infliximab may be an effective treatment in cases of severe isolated gastropathy due to Crohn's disease.
