Value of wireless capsule endoscopy in patients with indeterminate colitis (inflammatory bowel disease type unclassified).

Background: Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) can identify small bowel mucosal lesions not seen with other imaging modalities. This technique can therefore play an important diagnostic role in the evaluation of patients with inflammatory bowel disease type unclassified (IBDU). We report on a multicentric study whose objective was to evaluate the value of WCE to increase diagnostic accuracy in categorizing IBDU.
