Abstract

A case of Crohn's disease with specific tonsillar, pharyngeal and laryngeal lesions is presented. The unusualness of this site was clear from the literature. Stress is laid on the ubiquity of lesions indicative of the systemic nature of the disease. The intestinal lesions contain a viral agent that can be transmitted to animals.
