Which inflammatory disease can cause gastric ulcerations?

Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can lead to various gastrointestinal complications, including gastric ulcerations. It can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus, and is characterized by transmural inflammation, which often results in ulcer formation. Unlike other conditions listed, which primarily affect specific sections of the gastrointestinal tract, Crohn’s disease can cause inflammation anywhere along the digestive tract and can lead to not only ulcers in the intestines but also in the stomach.

Diverticulitis, while an inflammatory condition of the colon, specifically affects diverticula and does not typically cause gastric ulcers. Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder and is unrelated to gastric ulcerations. Ulcerative colitis is another type of IBD, but it primarily affects the colon and rectum and does not usually cause ulcers in the stomach. Thus, Crohn's disease stands out as the condition directly associated with the potential for gastric ulcerations.
