Granulomatous tracheo‐bronchitis from Crohn's disease

Abstract

Abstract Tracheo‐bronchitis is an uncommon but important extra‐intestinal manifestation of Crohn's disease. Our case demonstrates radiological and bronchoscopic evidence of tracheo‐bronchitis secondary to Crohn's disease with pathology‐proven granulomatous inflammation. This case highlights the importance of investigating airway involvement in patients with Crohn's disease and new respiratory symptoms.
