Extensive small-bowel Crohn's disease detected by the newly introduced 360° panoramic viewing capsule endoscopy system.

Chronic, nonbloody diarrhea may represent a diagnostic challenge in patients with inconclusive findings after standard clinical work-up [1]. In this setting, smallbowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) has high sensitivity and a favorable clinical impact in assessing the presence of small-bowel mucosal lesions in patients with suspected Crohn’s disease and no obstructive symptoms [1–3]. Very recently, the CapsoCam SV-1 (CapsoVision, Inc. Saratoga, California, USA) has been introduced as a new standard in SBCE. The system allows lateral panoramic 360° viewing with wire-free technology, longlasting battery life, and 12–20 frames per second captured by four highresolution cameras located on the capsule sides and facing the four quadrants of the digestive wall [4,5]. To the best of our knowledge, there is no published report on the use of this new technique in patients with suspected small-bowel Crohn’s disease. Here, the case of a 51year-old woman with a 2-year history of chronic, nonbloody diarrhea is presented. Physical examination was unremarkable and laboratory parameters were within the reference ranges, with the exception
