Inflammatory bowel diseases were described by Giovanni Battista Morgagni (1682-1771), by Polish surgeon Antoni Les'niowski in 1904 (leading to the use of the eponym "Les'niowski-Crohn disease" in Poland) and by Scottish physician T. Kennedy Dalziel in 1913.
Burrill Bernard Crohn, an American gastroenterologist at Mount Sinai Hospital, described fourteen cases in 1932, and submitted them to the American Medical Association under the rubric of "Terminal ileitis: A new clinical entity". Later that year, he, along with colleagues Leon Ginzburg and Gordon Oppenheimer published the case series as "Regional ileitis: a pathologic and clinical entity".
