title: [Endoscopy and histology in the diagnosis of inflammatory intestinal diseases].
abstract: Colonoscopy is now a routine examination in the diagnosis and the follow-up of I.B.D. The most typical aspects of endoscopic and histological lesions are described. Colonoscopy and histological study of endoscopic biopsies permit a differential diagnosis of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in 90% of the cases. Certain cases remain indeterminate even after colectomy.
