Crohn disease is a pathology of the adulthood although, in the last twenty years, has interested also childhood. The study of the risk factors, correlated to this pathology, inclines to believe that this disease has a multifactorial genesis, in which the immune system, genetic factors and environment play important roles. The clinical pictures of Crohn’s disease, in many cases, are nonspecific, above all in pediatrics; this fact imposes to the pediatrician to correlate the Crohn’s disease even to common clinical pictures like development deficency and/or anorexia.
