Crohns is named after an American gastroenterologist, Dr. Burrill B. Crohn. The disease was initially known as a medical entity when it was referred to by Doctors Crohn, Ginzburg, and Gordon D. Oppenheimer in 1932. The first recorded description of this condition prior to Crohns studies were made by an Italian physician Giovanni Battista Morgagni in 1769
