Isolated gastric Crohn's disease: a growing tendency

This case highlights the challenges and complexities of diagnosing and managing isolated gastric Crohn's disease (IGCD), a rare manifestation of Crohn's disease confined to the stomach.Serological tests such as the anti-<i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> antibody (ASCA) test and the perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) test help in distinguishing Crohn's disease from other conditions.This case emphasises the importance of considering IGCD in patients with unexplained gastric symptoms, and the need for individualised treatment plans due to the lack of specific guidelines for IGCD.
