Description
Siri Urquhart and co-authors review five patients whose mouth and face swelling syndrome, orofacial granulomatosis, appeared alongside Crohn's disease, in a 2024 case series. The condition is rare, and records at their center were searched for both diagnoses to see how cases were treated and how they fared.
Most patients had Crohn's affecting both small and large bowel without strictures or penetrating complications. Steroid injections into the lesions helped three of four patients partly, and infliximab featured in several regimens, yet flare-ups after treatment were common. No patient achieved a complete response to any therapy. The authors conclude the syndrome often needs long-term treatment and that better options are worth investigating.
