Gastroduodenal erosions in Crohn's disease

Gastrointestinal Radiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Gastroduodenal erosions were observed endoscopically and shown by double-contrast radiology in nine of 38 patients who had established Crohn's disease elsewhere in the intestinal tract. One of the nine patients was known to have duodenal involvement by Crohn's disease, but in the other eight there was no clinical suspicion of upper gastrointestinal disease. The possible significance of this finding is discussed.
