Ultrasound features of pediatric Crohn disease: a guide for case interpretation

David M Biko et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

With the emerging use of ultrasound in the evaluation of children with Crohn disease presenting with acute abdominal symptoms, there is a need to become familiar with the sonographic features of this disease. Our aim is to provide a primer of the characteristic intramural and extramural US findings in children with Crohn disease to serve as a practical and systematic guide to interpretation.
