Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by segmental, transmural inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Although CD is typically diagnosed in early adulthood, in approximately 10% of patients, CD occurs during childhood or adolescence, in whom it may cause growth failure, delayed puberty, and significant weight loss. CD may present with symptoms that resemble those of anorexia nervosa (AN), including weight loss and reduced appetite. This clinical overlap complicates the differential diagnosis, as both conditions can result in malnutrition and gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, which may further reduce food intake., Accurate differentiation is crucial, as misdiagnosis or diagnostic delay (DD) can lead to inappropriate management and increased risk of complications.
