    Summary

    Early Crohn's disease in the colon, known as focal granulomatous colitis, can appear as subtle defects on barium enemas. Recognizing this sign is crucial for timely diagnosis and management of Crohn's disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Early colonic lesions in Crohn's disease are termed focal granulomatous colitis.
    • Radiologic findings of focal granulomatous colitis are often subtle.

    Observation:

    • Focal granulomatous colitis can manifest as inconspicuous nodular or tumor-like contour defects.
    • These defects are observed in conventional barium enema studies.
    • The radiologic sign was first illustrated by Ettinger.

    Findings:

    • This communication re-emphasizes the radiologic appearances of focal granulomatous colitis.
    • Pathologic correlation is provided for the observed radiologic abnormalities.
    • Selected case reports illustrate the clinical significance.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing this specific radiologic abnormality is clinically significant.
    • Early identification may lead to improved management of Crohn's disease.
    • Further attention to this sign in the literature is warranted.
