    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Accurate assessment of disease extent and severity is vital for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of abdominal ultrasound compared to double-contrast small bowel enema in patients with intestinal Crohn's disease.
    • To describe echographic patterns associated with different phases of Crohn's disease evolution.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 40 patients with intestinal Crohn's disease.
    • Comparison of abdominal ultrasound findings with double-contrast small bowel enema results.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasound effectively visualizes bowel wall thickening and the exo-enteral space.
    • Echographic patterns correlate with disease activity and evolution.
    • Ultrasound provides information not directly obtainable by X-ray examination.

    Conclusions:

    • Abdominal ultrasound is a valuable tool for evaluating intestinal Crohn's disease.
    • Ultrasound offers a comprehensive assessment of bowel wall changes and extraluminal involvement.
    • Integrating ultrasound enhances diagnostic accuracy in Crohn's disease management.
