Ucerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease in Childhood: Topical Issues and Solutions

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children is a heterogeneous group of chronic diseases characterized by recurrent inflammation of various parts of gastrointestinal tract. Steady increase in the IBD incidence in pediatric population has been noted in recent decades. The most common forms of IBD are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. IBD diagnosis in children is challenging due to non-specific clinical signs and need for comprehensive examination, including endoscopic, histological, and imaging methods. Modern approaches to IBD management in children are focused on achieving and maintaining remission, preventing complications, and improving patients quality of life. However, despite significant advances in IBD diagnosis and treatment in children, the problem remains topical. This review presents current data on epidemiology, course, and outcomes of therapeutic and surgical strategies in IBD management in children.
