Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease in children encompasses at least two forms of intestinal inflammation: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. These two disease processes are differentiated based on clinical presentation, radiologic findings, endoscopic findings, histologic evaluation, and exclusion of alternative causes. The treatment and operative interventions are reviewed.
