Abstract
We present an unusual case of a young woman with penetrating form of Crohn's disease. Soon after diagnosis, ileoceacal resection was performed, complicated by an post-operative enteric fistula which was very slow to heal.
During the upcoming years, she suffered from recurrent intra-abdominal abscesses in spite of immunosuppressive and later biologic therapy. After three years, we found a peculiar cause of these complications in the form of a foreign body which was then endoscopically transrectally extracted.
She has been in remission ever since.
