Etymology Crohn's disease is named after Dr. Burrill Crohn, though its eponymous association arose from complex circumstances. Initially, researchers Ginzburg and Oppenheimer identified a pattern of the disease and compiled 12 cases, all linked to surgeon A. A. Berg. However, Berg declined authorship due to his lack of prior involvement. Ginzburg and Oppenheimer then connected with Crohn, who received the manuscript, which was later published with his name listed first and two additional cases included.
