Intestinal Ultrasound for Monitoring Postoperative Crohn's Disease: A Review and Visual Atlas
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Despite advances in therapeutic strategies, postoperative recurrence (POR) of Crohn's disease (CD) remains common, underscoring the importance of vigilant and accurate surveillance. Colonoscopy is the gold standard to assess for POR, but it is invasive and can be poorly tolerated by patients. Intestinal...
The use of International Bowel Ultrasound Segmental Activity Score (IBUS-SAS) in patients with ulcerative colitis: applicability and comparison with other ultrasound scores
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
The International Bowel Ultrasound Segmental Activity Score (IBUS-SAS) is an intestinal ultrasound (IUS) score validated for Crohn's disease, potentially applicable to ulcerative colitis (UC). We aimed to confirm the applicability of IBUS-SAS to UC, while comparing its performance with other IUS scores. Methods:...
Bouveret's syndrome complicated by iatrogenic esophageal perforation after endoscopic gallstone retrieval: a case report
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Bouveret's syndrome represents a rare variant of gallstone ileus characterized by the migration of a gallstone through a bilioenteric fistula into the duodenum, resulting in pyloric obstruction. We present the case of a 79-year-old woman who presented to a regional hospital with symptoms of vomiting...
Endoscopic management of a post-gunshot biliary injury in a conflict zone: a case report from Sudan
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Traumatic biliary injuries are rare but serious complications following abdominal trauma, often presenting significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in resource-limited, conflict-affected settings. We report the case of a 31-year-old male soldier who sustained gunshot injuries to...
Impact of complete vs partial endoscopic healing on long-term outcomes in Crohn's disease: a prospective multicenter study
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
The STRIDE II guidelines recognize endoscopic healing (EH), defined by an SES-CD score ≤ 2, as one of the main therapeutic targets in Crohn's disease (CD). Nevertheless, complete EH could further reduce the risk of long-term complications in CD. We aimed to assess the risk of long-term complications...
