Fistulating Crohn's disease is present in 17-35% of non-surgically treated patients and in up to 45% of surgically treated ones. Among the several therapeutic alternatives for this disease is intravenous immunoglobulin administration. We present a 28-year-old woman with refractory fistulating Crohn's disease who improved after prolonged immunoglobulin administration (32 months).
