    Abstract:
    A case of Crohn's disease of the colon onsetting at 17 weeks gestation and observed at the 22 weeks when the disease presented severely and concomitant to serious maternal malnutrition, is reported. The patient was treated with NPT for 4 weeks in association with corticosteroids and sulphasalazine therapy continued to term (36 weeks). The newborn (weight 2480 g, Apgar of 9 at 5') developed moderately serious postnatal icterus resolved with phototherapy; at twelve months he presented normal growth and neurological development conditions. Stress is laid on the fortunate outcome of this gestation and the role of NPT in the correction of maternal malnutrition and the maintenance of foetal growth.
