Purpose: To evaluate correlation between terminal ileal (TI) stricture diagnosis at MR enterography (MRE) and ileocolonoscopy (IC) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).
Methods: One hundred and four patients with CD (51% females; 41 ± 15 years) underwent IC and MRE within 3 months in this retrospective case-control study. Positive cases had TI strictures diagnosed by endoscopy (n = 35); or MRE (threshold small bowel dilation ≥ 3cm; n = 34).
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of MR enterography in characterizing strictures caused by Crohn's disease and its correlation with stricture severity.
- The research involved a retrospective analysis of patient data collected from two major clinics, examining various MR enterography features through assessments by trained radiologists over a significant time period.
- Results indicated that certain features of strictures, like length and associated bowel dilation, showed strong reliability in measuring severity, which can help improve clinical decision-making and drug development for treating this condition.
This case report follows a 66-year-old female who originally presented with malignant melanoma in the left knee and recurrence in the left inguinal region. This prompted a whole body FDG PET/CT scan which showed incidental focal hypermetabolism in the uterus. The diagnosis of endometrial cancer was confirmed at biopsy, and the patient was treated with total abdominal hysterectomy.

An enlarged uterus with diffuse increased uptake warranted further investigation with an MRI that showed mass-like thickening of the endometrium, T2 hyperintensity, lobulated contour, and invasion of more than 50% of the myometrium. Biopsy revealed endometrial carcinoma with mucinous features.
