Abstract:
Crohn′s disease (CD) is a chronic transmural inflammation disease which may affect the whole gastrointestinal tract. It is known that ileal and colonic involvement of CD is common. Capsule endoscopy (CE) is widely used for CD because of its noninvasiveness and convenience, especially for diagnosis of early-onset and atypical small bowel CD. CE also plays an important role in improving and modifying disease extent and assessment of disease activity. However, CE has its limitations. We mainly summarize the efficacy of CE for early-onset diagnosis and evaluation of extent and activity in small bowel CD. The retention risks are also reviewed to give some references for clinical practice.
