Clinic pattern of terminal ileitis

In 1932, Krohn et al published a paper on a rare pathology of the terminal ileum called terminal or regional ileitis.
The disease had been known before: for example, Landois described it as early as 1923 under the name "circumscribed circulatory enteritis". Americans referred to this pathology as nonspecific, or benign granuloma, and most European surgeons referred to it as phlegmon of the colon. The latter term is also used by some domestic authors (G. M. Galayko, M. D. Moiseenko, M. R. Cherepashinets, B. V. Punin, etc.). However, it is to Crohn's credit that he was the first not only to give a detailed description of this disorder, but also to distinguish it as an independent nosological form by summarizing the experience of 110 clinical observations.
