We report a case of enterovenous fistula in a young 22-year-old patient with Crohn's disease associated with jaundice. Ultrasound and computed tomography showed stationary gaz and barium in the liver. Pathological examination showed a fistula between the lumen of the inflamed segment of the ileum and the superior mesenteric venous system. This unusual finding in Crohn's disease may be a severe complication.
