Abstract
Bowel obstruction is a well-known complication of Crohn's disease and is usually a result of stricture formation. Intussusception due to gia nt pseudopolyps is a rare form of bowel obstruction even in Crohn's di sease. These giant pseudopolyps rarely regress with medical management alone and often require surgical resection, (Am J Gastroenterol 1998; 93: 1591-1592. (C) 1998 by Am. Coll. of Gastroenterology).
