title: [Sonography in Crohn disease--the conclusions of an experts' group].
abstract: Sonography is adding a new dimension to diagnosis of Crohn's disease: the analysis of the transmural and peri-intestinal manifestations of the chronic inflammation. Distortions in the structure of intestinal wall are recognizable, the impact on transport of intestinal content can be judged, penetration of inflammation into the bowel surrounding as fistula, abscess, mesenteriitis und peritonitis is safely seen. Differential diagnosis on a strictly sonographic basis is difficult. The paper represents the results of an expert meeting held at the University of Frankfurt/M.
