Jejunoileitis
A person using the acne-fighting medication Accutane may develop severe and potentially life-threatening complications as a result of the drug, including Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease creates an incurable inflammation in the digestive tract, occasionally developing very painful situations like fistulas. These inflammation sites vary depending on the type of Crohn’s disease. One type is known as jejunoileitis, or the inflammation of the upper portion of the small intestine.
If you have taken Accutane and developed Crohn’s disease as a result, it is important to discuss your rights with a qualified lawyer.

Symptoms of Jejunoileitis
The inflammation caused by jejunoileitis can prove serious as well as painful for the sufferer. A person who has developed Crohn’s may experience a variety of symptoms that can cause them to suffer in a way that may prevent them from working or participating in other activities they once enjoyed. These symptoms can include the following:
- Sharp and severe stomach pains
- Diarrhea
- Formation of fistulas
- Cramps after eating
These symptoms may be managed with some treatment methods, including medication and surgery. However, treatment can prove expensive and may take a toll on a person’s short-term health.
