What is diverticulits crohn disease?
Diverticulitis develops from diverticulosis, which involves the formation of pouches (diverticula) on the outside of the colon. Diverticulitis results if one of these diverticula becomes inflamed. In complicated diverticulitis, bacteria may subsequently infect the outside of the colon if an inflamed diverticula bursts open. Crohn's disease and Diverticulitis affecting the colon can occur at the same sites, at the same time, but usually in older individuals. When they occur in combination they can carry a worse prognosis than either disease in isolation. It is possible that diverticulitis may initiate inflammatory changes which resemble Crohn's disease histologically, but do not carry the same clinical implications of chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
Can Crohn's disease cause an intestinal blockage?
Yes. Crohn's disease often affects the lower part of the small intestine or ileum. Since people with Crohn's are likely to have flare-ups with this chronic disease, they often have swelling, distention and most likely scar tissue in the colon. If severe this can lead to blockage of the intestines.
