    AbstractThe finding of acute inflammation of the terminal ileus frequently leads to differential diagnostic reflections whether it is the first stage of Crohn's disease or acute ileitis with a different aetiology. At the Surgical Clinic of the Third Medical Faculty in Prague 10 in 1981-1992 21 patients with this condition were hospitalized and operated. Crohn's disease developed subsequently only in six patients and in five of them the development of the disease called for another operation. The remaining 15 patients are free from clinical complaints. The mean age of these patients at the time of operation was 30.4 years, the mean length of the gut affection was 9.7 cm, the mean follow up period is 6.4 years. The author analyzes possible causes of these cases of ileitis and discusses the relationship with Crohn's disease.
