  • Differentiating Crohn's disease (CD) from ulcerative colitis (UC) impacts treatment and prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of endoscopy in IBD diagnosis and management.
  • To emphasize how endoscopy aids in distinguishing between CD and UC.

Main Methods:

  • Review of endoscopic findings in inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Comparison of endoscopic features differentiating Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopy provides crucial information complementing history, physical exam, radiography, and lab values.
