title: Strictures of the ileal loop.
abstract: Intrinsic ileal loop strictures in children are much more common than previously reported. They occur late and are usually clinically silent. Their etilogy is inflammatory rather than ischemic and a local immunosuppressive effect of urine also may play a role. Periodic urography, continued indefinitely, is the only certain method of early detection.
