description

Transmural bowel inflammation in Crohn’s disease (CD) is associated with the development of fistulas, which are tracts or communications that connect two epithelial-lined organs. Common sites for fistulas connect the intestine to bladder (enterovesical), to skin (enterocutaneous), to bowel (enteroenteric), and to the vagina (enterovaginal).
