Figure 2 A 41-year-old female patient with CD of the neoterminal ileum. (A) Axial post-contrast T1-weighted MRI showed wall thickening, stenosis, and increased enhancement. (B) Neoterminal ileum at endoscopy showed ulceration and stenosis. (C) Conventional barium enteroclysis showed cobblestoning and stenosis. (D) Resected neoterminal ileum showed thickened bowel wall with cobblestoning. C, cecum; I, neoterminal ileum.
