Core Tip	Although very rare, osteonecrosis is a devasting event that can occur in Crohn’s disease (CD). We present the case of a 22 years old woman with CD who was diagnosed with osteonecrosis of both knees. As we demonstrate with this report, awareness of risk factors, such as corticosteroid therapy and inflammatory bowel disease activity, is crucial to establish the diagnosis of this inflammatory bowel disease rheumatological complication. Prompt treatment is recommended. A review of the literature is also presented.
