    Author: Nebel G, Lingg G, Vogel H.
    Journal: Rontgenblatter; 1981 Aug; 34(8):298-303. PubMed ID: 7280507.
    Abstract:
    The article reports on the x-ray morphology in 52 patients with Crohn's disease (part of a multicenter study for the purpose of therapy control). The most frequent morphological sign was the so-called "string sign", also known as Kantor's sign (55%). Changes in the mucosal relief were also very frequent (45%). Chief localisation was the terminal ileum (64%), exclusion affection of the colon being rare (8%). The formation of a fistula is described as the most important complication; a rare one occurred between rectum and vagina. In two cases pseudopolypous changes were seen. The article also discusses the various aspects after surgery for Crohn's disease.
