Abstract
In two patients with Crohn's disease, abdominal mass and fever, abdomi nal ultrasound disclosed enteroenteric fistula in one, and intestinal fistula associated to subcutaneous abscess in the second. We emphasize the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis of active Crohn's disease, es pecially as a complementary method for the detection of intraabdominal complications.
