Abstract

We report the case of a young female patient hospitalized for the first episode of a colonic Crohn's disease with specific ulceronecrotic tracheobronchial involvement leading to chronic and invalidant cough. Symptomatic bronchopulmonary manifestations are very rare in the course of inflammatory bowel diseases and usually not mentioned in Gastroenterology textbooks.
