    Abstract:
    We present a case of a 14-year-old boy in whom, at age of nine a dramatic decrease of growth velocity was observed. At the age of 14 the growth hormone therapy was introduced after the diagnosis of partial growth hormone deficiency and Crohn's disease. During the two years period of follow up increased growth velocity and improvement in the general condition was observed. We present the case because of many controversial opinions about growth hormone treatment in Crohn's disease.
