Diagnostic Value of Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy in Isolated Ileitis: A Methodological Mistake

Author: Siamak Sabour

Published in: Digestive Diseases and Sciences | Issue 4/2017

Excerpt

I was interested to read the paper by Lee and colleagues published in the January 2017 edition of Digestive Diseases and Sciences [1]. The purpose of the authors was to evaluate the diagnostic value of small bowel capsule endoscopy (CE) for isolated ileitis observed during ileocolonoscopy [1]. Among 137 patients with isolated ileitis observed on ileocolonoscopy at one of eight tertiary referral centers, 117 (85.4 %) revealed positive small bowel CE findings. The rate of positive small bowel CE findings was 92.9 % in cases of ileal aphthous ulcer or erosion and 90.9 % in cases of ileal ulcer [1]. …
