Crohn’s disease is a kind of inflammatory disease which can spread to the whole digestive tract. The upper part of the digestive tract is a rare location of changes. We present a 17-year old girl with epigastric pain, heartburn, dysphagia and chronic diarrhoea. Inflammatory changes were observed not only in the typical region of the ileum but also in the oesophagus.
