title: [The value of x-ray signs in the follow-up of Crohn's disease].
abstract: The value of various radiological signs in the follow-up of Crohn's disease has been studied in 175 radiological examinations of the gastro-intestinal tract in 39 patients. Changes in the significant radiological signs in Crohn's disease, such as spicula, cobblestone pattern, stenoses and fistulas, provide information on the development of the disease and on the effect of treatment. The signs have a prognostic significance only insofar as their persistence excludes any improvement. Radiological follow-up is particularly useful for spotting complications and for the early recognition of recurrences.
