A detailed medical illustration of Crohn's disease showing a cross-section of the gastrointestinal tract with labeled features: inflamed and thickened intestinal wall, deep ulcers, cobblestone mucosal pattern, skip lesions (alternating inflamed and normal segments), fistula formation, and narrowed intestinal lumen (stricture). Include a comparison showing normal vs. affected bowel. Style: clean, professional medical diagram with anatomical accuracy, labeled callouts, neutral background.
Here is a medical illustration of Crohn's Disease, highlighting its key pathological features:
- Skip lesions - alternating segments of inflamed and normal bowel, a hallmark of Crohn's
- Cobblestone mucosa - caused by deep ulcers surrounded by islands of edematous tissue
- Transmural inflammation - full-thickness involvement of the bowel wall
- Strictures - narrowing of the intestinal lumen due to chronic inflammation and fibrosis
- Fistula formation - abnormal connections between loops of bowel or adjacent structures
- Thickened bowel wall - due to edema, fibrosis, and lymphoid aggregates
Crohn's disease can affect any part of the GI tract from mouth to anus, but most commonly involves the terminal ileum and colon. Unlike ulcerative colitis, it is characterized by these skip lesions and transmural (full-thickness) inflammation.
