✦ Synopsis

An infective basis for this condition would appear to accord more with the reports that cases presenting the typical naked-eye appearances of Crohn's disease have undergone spontaneous resolution. If the initial lesion in Crohn's disease is infective in nature and localized in the bowel, then a case such as this in which early resection is performed should carry an excellent prognosis, as far as freedom from recurrence is concerned.
