Research Notes on Who Discovered Crohn's Disease


Crohn's disease was discovered by Dr. Burrill B. Crohn, Dr. Leon Ginzburg, and Dr. Gordon Oppenheimer in 1932. The three doctors published a paper describing the disease, which they called "regional ileitis." The disease was later called Crohn's disease because Dr. Crohn's name appeared first alphabetically on the paper.1

Fast Facts:

  • It has been said that Dr. Crohn never used the term "Crohn's disease" when talking about the condition.2
  • Crohn's disease occurs when the lining of the digestive tract is inflamed.3
  • There is no known cure for Crohn's disease.3
