Hi Lalasoto,
Crohn's disease in most of the patients causes disability rather than being fatal.
Patients with Crohn's disease die of it only when they develop complications like cancer.
The risk of cancer depends on the segment of intestine involved and the duration of the disease.
A periodic follow up is essential to rule out this complication.
