Oral Symptoms Related to Vitamin B12 Deficiency in a Patient with Crohn’s Disease

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease which affects whole gastrointestinal tractfrom mouth to anus. Crohn’s disease may present both oral manifestation and gastrointestinalsymptom–abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anorexia, fever, and growth failure. Theprevalence rate of oral manifestation is approximately between 0.5% and 20%. The oral lesioncould be the first sign of Crohn’s disease. We present a case of Crohn’s disease in a patientwho did not show typical oral manifestations but had nonspecific aphthous like ulceration andburning sensation for many years. Through this case, we suggest approaches for the diagnosisand treatment of the oral lesion of Crohn’s disease.
