Objective: To describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of adolescents with Crohn's disease. Methods: A quantitative, case series study carried out in a public hospital in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data were collected from the medical records of six adolescents diagnosed with Crohn's disease, from March to August 2020. The data were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics. Results: Regarding the sociodemographic characteristics, there was a predominance of mixed race/ethnicity, age between 17 and 20 years, most have basic home sanitation, live with family members, on average 2.5 people per residence and regarding education (3;50%) showed school delay. Regarding clinical characteristics, (6; 100%) were in category A1, with concomitant involvement of the small and large intestines; disease restricted to the small intestine and involvement restricted to the large intestine. The characteristics of the disease are inflammatory, followed by penetrating and stenosing. Conclusion: The intrinsic and extrinsic changes caused by the disease, resulting from weight loss, inadequate nutrition or surgical processes, can lead adolescents to various disorders, not only in relation to health care, but also in other areas of life.
