Case series of Cryptogenic Multifocal Ulcerating Stenosing Enteritis (CMUSE).

Abstract

In patients with short, ulcerative small intestinal stenoses CMUSE is an important but often neglected differential diagnosis. The pathophysiology and relationship to CD are subject of ongoing debate, but specific endoscopic characteristics, different histopathological findings and lack of clear abnormalities on CT or MRI enterography suggest that CMUSE is a distinct albeit rare chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
