Abstract
For diagnostic ileography, the authors developed balloon-occluded endoscopi c retrograde ileography and performed 77 studies in 36 consecutive patients with Crohn disease. Balloon-occluded endoscopic retrograde ileography prov ed to be useful in visualization of minute mucosal lesions such as aphthous ulcers and lymphoid hyperplasia in the dis-tal ileum, and satisfactory ile ographic images of Crohn disease were obtained in 54 (70%) studies.
