This report covers two cases of Crohn's Disease, one in a 27 year old Senegalese woman, the other in a 38 year old Senegalese man, both presenting abdominal pain, diarrhoea and loss of weight over several months. The ulcerated lesions were staged on the colon, respecting the rectum, and reached the ileum in one patient and the esophagus in the other. Following X-rays, endoscopy and consideration of the history, Crohn's Disease was diagnosed. Treatment with corticoids produced rapid improvement with the ulcers healing after one month. The unusualness of Crohn's Disease in Black Africans adds interest to these two observations.
