Abstract
Cerebral infarction in the inflammatory bowel disease
was rarely reported, especially in Crohn’s disease. In this
article, we report a 38-year-old male with Crohn’s disease
subsequently developed cerebral infarction. By reviewing the
literature, we further discussed the relationship between the
two diseases and seek the optimal treatment for the
thromboembolisms in Crohn’s disease.
