Diagnostic yield of capsule endoscopy in ulcerative colitis and inflammatory bowel disease of unclassified type (IBDU)

Abstract

Many patients with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and atypical features or IBDU may have small-bowel findings on capsule endoscopy that are consistent with Crohn's disease. Capsule endoscopy should be considered in ulcerative colitis patients with atypical clinical features particularly after colectomy.
