An 18-year-old male experienced a first episode of Crohn's disease with inflammation of the colon, stenosis of small intestine and a fistula of the anal sphincter. After resection of the fistula and 30 cm of proximal ileum the patient remained free of symptoms under medication with azathioprine and mesalazine for 6 years. Then, blood in the stool occurred. Diagnostic work-up - gastroscopy and colonoscopy 2004 and 2006, magnetic resonance enteroclysis 2004 and 2006 and wireless capsule enteroscopy 2006 - revealed slight inflammation in the ileum but no bleeding source. The bleeding ceased, but after 2 uneventful years abdominal cramps appeared and diagnostic work-up (magnetic resonance enteroclysis, radiograph) located the capsule still in the terminal ileum proximal to an inflamed stenosis. Corticosteroids were subscribed for 4 weeks, but the capsule stayed in place. Surgery was discussed, but denied by the patient. Finally, the capsule could be taken out by double balloon enteroscopy.
