| Abstract | ||||
| Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are idiopathic inflammatory diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract. IBDs can be categorized broadly into two types, Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). DBE, developed in 2001 by Yamamoto et al., is a useful tool in the diagnosis and therapy of small bowel CD. The advantages of enteroscopy include the ability for real-time viewing of the small bowel, to biopsy abnormal mucosa and to undertake therapy such as pneumatic dilatation using the through-the-scope (TTS) balloons, achieving hemostasis, polypectomy, local injection of triamcinolone and immunomodulatory drugs and more recently metallic and biodegradable stent insertion. BAE is a relatively safe procedure in suspected cases of CD, and there are only a few reports of complications. AIM OF THE WORK: The study was designed for Evaluation of small intestinal involvement in patients of crohn’s disease by double balloon enteroscopy and correlation of findings with clinical activity of the disease. | ||||
