A Case Report: Cryptogenic Multifocal Ulcerative Stenosing Enteritis – A Diagnostic Challenge Mimicking Crohn’s Disease
This case underscores the need for heightened clinical recognition of CMUSE, particularly in patients with unexplained small bowel strictures and ulceration unresponsive to standard IBD therapies. Genetic testing may aid in distinguishing CMUSE from Crohn's disease, preventing unnecessary immunosuppressive treatments. Further research is necessary to establish effective, targeted therapies and improve outcomes for patients with this rare condition.
