Abstract
A patient with chronic regional enteritis, diagnosed in Glasgow in 1935 who has now survived for 45 years despite nine operations and the development of multiple nutritional and post-surgical complications is described. Her case history, one of the longest in the literature provides a unique record of the course of this disease and of the consequences of surgical intervention.
