Hi everyone! Quick question. So, I was doing some pondering on my daughter, who as I have detailed before has GI issues. I myself was diagnosed with LC in November. Out of nowhere it hits me that her father had a rectal abscess as a child that he had to have surgery on. He was (and still is) too embarrassed to talk about it, so I verified it with his sister who is 10 years older than he. I asked her if they knew why he developed it, and she said "due to poor diet and being overweight". Which.... I don't really believe.
So, among the information that I can find online, among older children, it is rare to find these abscesses among children who are not either immunocompromised or suffering from some sort of IBD. Can Crohns present as only one isolated abscess?
Thoughts?
