 Twenty one cases of Crohn's disease exclusively composed of aphthas (type A Crohn's disease) were analyzed in comparison with 166 cases of typical Crohn's disease (type O Crohn's disease).

 Type A Crohn's disease had significantly higher male/female ratio and lower incidence of abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, and loss of weight than type O Crohn's disease. Seven patients with type A Crohn's disease complained of anal symptoms. Type A Crohn's disease patients usually had lower activity index and preserved good nutritional condition and significantly loweri nflammatory signs on laboratory examinations. These results suggested that type A Crohn's disease might be an early stage of type O Crohn's disease and it would be important to perform colonoscopic examination in young patients with anal symptoms to detect type A Crohn's disease.

 The location and incidence of lesions of type A Crohn's disease were as follows; the esophagus 14%, stomach and duodenum 95%, small intestine 86%, large intestine 100%. Only less than a fifth cases had longitudinally aligned aphthas in the large intestine. In the initial endoscopic biopsy examinations, seven pieces of specimen from the stomach and duodenum, 20 pieces of specimen from large intestine were taken on the average, granulomatous lesions were found in 15 cases (71%).

 The nutritional therapy remitted and/or cured two lesions, but recurred shortly and deteriorated in the long run. Six cases progressed to type O Crohn's disease (about two to four years after the initial diagnosis), three cases has been remitted for a long time (four to six years). The former cases had received intensive treatments. These results suggest that type A Crohn's disease may contain different stages and pathophysiology of the disease.
