Capsule endoscopy in the small bowel Crohn's disease. Gastroenterol Res Pract; 2014:529136http://hdl.handle.net/10668/1974Journal Article; Review;CD is a chronic inflammatory disorder associated to mucosal and transmural inflammation of the bowel wall. It is well known that CD can affect the entire gastrointestinal. Therefore, ileocolonoscopy and biopsies of the terminal ileum as well as of each colonic segment to look for microscopic evidence of CD are the first-line procedures to establish the diagnosis. However, it has been observed that up to 30% of the patients have only small bowel involvement. Evaluation of the small bowel has been made with radiological procedures, barium radiography, and abdominal computed tomography or by ileocolonoscopy or enteroscopy, but they have many recognized limitations. CE is undoubtedly a very useful diagnostic tool proposed to observe small-bowel lesions undetectable by conventional endoscopy or radiologic studies. We review different studies that have been published reporting the use of CE in suspected and evaluation of the extension or the recurrence in CD and also its use in pediatric population and its complications.enBarioEndoscopía GastrointestinalInflamaciónIntestino DelgadoEnfermedad de CrohnMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Inorganic Chemicals::Elements::Metals, Alkaline Earth::BariumMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures::Clinical Laboratory Techniques::Cytological Techniques::Cytodiagnosis::BiopsyMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::ChildMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures::Diagnostic Techniques, Digestive System::Endoscopy, Digestive System::Endoscopy, GastrointestinalMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Anatomy::Digestive System::Gastrointestinal Tract::Intestines::Intestine, Small::IleumMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Pathologic Processes::InflammationMedical Subject Headings::Anatomy::Digestive System::Gastrointestinal Tract::Intestines::Intestine, SmallMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Pathologic Processes::Disease Attributes::RecurrenceMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures::Diagnostic Imaging::TomographyMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Digestive System Diseases::Gastrointestinal Diseases::Intestinal Diseases::Inflammatory Bowel Diseases::Crohn DiseaseCapsule endoscopy in the small bowel Crohn's disease.review article24741374open access10.1155/2014/5291361687-6121PMC3972849
