Pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease considered to impair the growth of children and adolescents. Since CD commonly presents perianal manifestations, general surgeons may play a crucial role in its diagnosis and treatment. Detailed history, along with a thorough clinical examination, is mandatory for the management of CD perianal lesions.
