#MCQ discusses a 46-year-old male presenting with weight loss, severe chronic diarrhea, recurrent abdominal pain, and colonoscopic findings of skip lesions and patchy inflammation. These hallmark features point toward Crohn’s disease, a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease characterized by transmural inflammation and discontinuous involvement of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly affecting the terminal ileum and colon. The video briefly contrasts Crohn’s disease with other common differentials including ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, and infectious colitis, highlighting why these conditions do not demonstrate the same chronic, patchy inflammatory pattern. This Short is designed for rapid revision and exam-oriented learning for MBBS students, FCPS/USMLE/PLAB candidates, nurses, and other healthcare professionals preparing for clinical assessments
