Core Tip Fistulas and intraabdominal fistulas are common complications of Crohn’s disease (CD) and tumor necrosis factor antagonists combined with percutaneous drainage or surgical intervention is the optimal treatment for fistulizing CD with intraabdominal abscess. However, no previous study has reported the efficacy of vedolizumab in this complicated situation. This 47-year-old male presented with CD with complex fistulas and pre-sacral abscess. He received vedolizumab with transverse colostomy and the follow-up sigmoidoscopy 6 mo later showed mucosal healing without any visible fistula tracts. We think early vedolizumab treatment with stool diversion are effective and safe in treating CD with complex fistulas and abscess formation.
