Overview

The first case of Crohn's disease was reported by Combe and Sanders, physicians of royal college London in 1806. The first detailed explanation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was done by Giovanni Battista Morgagni and by Scottish physician T. Kennedy Dalziel.[1]

Historical Perspective

  • In 1806, Combe and Sanders, physicians of royal college london reported the first case of Crohns disease.
  • In 1913 Giovanni Battista Morgagni (1682-1771) and by Scottish physician T. Kennedy Dalziel described inflammatory bowel diseases in detail for the first time.[2]
  • In 1913, Dr.Kennedy reported the surgical evidence in his paper "Chronic Intestinal Entritis".[3]
  • In 1932, American gastroenterologist Burrill Bernard Crohn, after whom the disease was named, along with two colleagues, described a series of patients with inflammation of the terminal ileum, the area most commonly affected by the Crohn's disease.[4]
  • In 1932, Burrill Bernard Crohn at New York City's Mount Sinai Hospital, described fourteen cases , and submitted them to the American Medical Association under the rubric of "Terminal ileitis: A new clinical entity".
  • Later that year, he, along with colleagues Leon Ginzburg and Gordon Oppenheimer published the case series as "Regional ileitis: a pathologic and clinical entity."[4]
