The inflammation of Crohn's disease is typically found in the
ileocecal region. The ileocecal region consists of the last few
inches of the small intestine (the ileum), which moves digesting
food to the beginning portion of the large intestine (the cecum).
However, Crohn's disease can occur anywhere along the digestive
tract.
