Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammation of the intestines that follows a relapsing or remitting course. Endoscopic imaging and radiological imaging are essential for diagnosis and to assess disease severity, response to treatment, and complications. CD most commonly affects the terminal ileum, which is accessible with conventional ileocolonoscopy. Nevertheless, jejunal lesions are presen...

Crohn's disease (CD) is an idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease involving the small and/or large intestine. More than 50% of Western CD patients and up to 88% of Asian CD patients may have small intestinal involvement. Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) has a higher diagnostic yield than small bowel barium radiography and computed tomography enterography for the detection of small intestinal involv...

The last years saw the dawn of a paradigm shift in small bowel investigation and management. Once difficult to approach through both endoscopic and radiologic studies, small bowel evaluation underwent a game-changing revolution with the recent advent of new endoscopic and radiologic technologies. The radiologic revolution came from the development of computed tomography enterography (CTE) and m...

Background/Aims As a result of the rapid development of medical diagnostic tools, physicians require concrete evidence to evaluate the effectiveness of the tools. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness and additional diagnostic benefits of capsule endoscopy (CE) in patients with small bowel Crohn's disease (CD). Methods We performed a systematic search of databases, including MEDLINE, EMBA...
