  • Title: Computed tomography evaluation of local and extraintestinal complications of Crohn's disease.
    Author: Kerber GW, Greenberg M, Rubin JM.
    Journal: Gastrointest Radiol; 1984; 9(2):143-8. PubMed ID: 6745591.
    Abstract:
    Complications of Crohn's disease were demonstrated by computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis in 7 patients. Four patients had developed abscesses, 2 located in the psoas region and 2 involving the retroperitoneum or the liver. Other abnormalities documented on CT included inflammatory masses, fistulae, carcinoma, mesenteric thickening, and extraintestinal complications such as gallstones, renal calculi, and sacroileitis. Computed tomography was found to be useful in the detection and follow-up of abdominal complications of Crohn's disease.
