Importance of Small Bowel Evaluation in Crohn’s Disease The diagnosis of SB inflammation can be challenging when inflammation is mild and/or confined to the small bowel The diagnosis of SB inflammation can be challenging when inflammation is mild and/or confined to the small bowel A comprehensive evaluation of the entire small bowel may be indicated to: A comprehensive evaluation of the entire small bowel may be indicated to: – Make a definitive diagnosis of CD – Determine extent and severity of disease – Determine baseline disease activity to serve as a comparator for monitoring of disease Imaging Techniques Imaging Techniques Capsule Endoscopy Capsule Endoscopy CT/MR Enterography CT/MR Enterography Deep Enteroscoppy Deep Enteroscoppy CD = Crohn’s disease; C+I = colonoscopy with ileoscopy.

Why Might Capsule Endoscopy (CE) Be Helpful? Isolated involvement of the proximal SB can occur in as many as one third of cases Isolated involvement of the proximal SB can occur in as many as one third of cases Normal findings on ileocolonoscopy are not sufficient to exclude the diagnosis Normal findings on ileocolonoscopy are not sufficient to exclude the diagnosis Cross-sectional imaging can detect transmural inflammation but superficial mucosal inflammation may be missed Cross-sectional imaging can detect transmural inflammation but superficial mucosal inflammation may be missed CE offers a comprehensive evaluation of the SB mucosa to identify CD missed by conventional endoscopy and/or evaluate extent and severity of involvement CE offers a comprehensive evaluation of the SB mucosa to identify CD missed by conventional endoscopy and/or evaluate extent and severity of involvement Debate still exists as to its role in the diagnosis and management of Suspected and Established Crohn’s disease Debate still exists as to its role in the diagnosis and management of Suspected and Established Crohn’s disease

A Prospective Multicenter Blinded Study Comparing CE vs SBFT Before Ileocolonoscopy (IC) in Suspected Crohn Disease Aim: compare diagnostic yield of CE before IC vs SBFT and IC. Aim: compare diagnostic yield of CE before IC vs SBFT and IC. Results: 80 patients were included in the analyses. Results: 80 patients were included in the analyses. Diagnostic yield of CE = IC (P=.09). Diagnostic yield of CE = IC (P=.09). Diagnostic yield CE > SBFT (P SBFT (P<.001). 25 (31.3%) had the diagnosis of CD confirmed. 25 (31.3%) had the diagnosis of CD confirmed. 11 diagnosed by CE alone/5 diagnosed by IC alone11 diagnosed by CE alone/5 diagnosed by IC alone 9 were identified by at least 2 of the 3 modalities.9 were identified by at least 2 of the 3 modalities. Conclusion: Conclusion: IC remains the diagnostic test of choice IC remains the diagnostic test of choice CE was clearly better than SBFT for SB inflammation and CD CE was clearly better than SBFT for SB inflammation and CD CE demonstrated equivalency to IC for ileocecal inflammation. CE demonstrated equivalency to IC for ileocecal inflammation. This study suggests that CE is safe and can diagnosis CD when IC is negative.

CE and Suspected Crohn’s Disease Final Thoughts…… Although CE has greater sensitivity for mucosal inflammation than radiology, the PPV is fair at 50% Although CE has greater sensitivity for mucosal inflammation than radiology, the PPV is fair at 50% False positives and an increased risk of retention may limit the widespread use False positives and an increased risk of retention may limit the widespread use The NPV at 96% suggests that CE may be better for excluding Crohn’s disease than confirming it The NPV at 96% suggests that CE may be better for excluding Crohn’s disease than confirming it CE may play an even more important role in established CD CE may play an even more important role in established CD Tukey M et al.
