KEY FACTS

  • GENERAL DISCUSSION

    • IMAGING

      TERMINOLOGY

      • Abbreviations

        • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
      • Definitions

        • IBD: Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)
          • Chronic conditions with peak onset in adolescence and early adult life
        • CD: Transmural process affecting any portion of GI tract with predilection for terminal ileum
          • Includes inflammatory, penetrating, and fibrostenotic phenotypes
            • Penetrating disease extends beyond bowel serosa into mesenterium
            • Fibrostenotic disease is characterized by luminal narrowing of bowel, frequently associated with bowel obstruction
        • UC: Characterized by superficial mucosal inflammation of colon that extends proximally from anal verge in contiguous manner
        • Comb sign: Represents filling of prominent straight intestinal arterial branches in mesenteric arcade suggesting active disease
