Abstract:
Vicarious renal excretion of iodinated contrast introduced into the bowel is a known phenomenon that has rarely been reported. In clinical settings like Crohn's disease in which evaluation for recto-vesical fistula is frequently requested, vicarious excretion can cause misapprehension and error in diagnosis. We present a case of Crohn's disease in which gastrografin enema was performed to evaluate for fistula and initial interpretation was mistakenly positive, however, simple methods of elucidation were utilized to prevent error in diagnosis.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
