Organ: Terminal ileum & colon

Patient information: 25 years old, Female

Medical history: Chronic diarrhea for about 1 ½ years prior to consultation; no background medical illness in the past

1. WLI Observation

Discontinuous deep longitudinal ulcers were seen throughout the colon under WLI observation

2. WLI Observation

Some of these ulcers were deep and exposed the underlying muscularis propria layer

3. WLI Observation

Similar discontinuous ulcerations were seen in terminal ileum as well

4. TXI™ technology Observation

Under TXI observation, the color and surface texture of the terminal ileal ulcer were enhanced.

5. NBI™ technology Observation

Under NBI™ technology examination, the villi in the terminal ileum were clearly displayed.

6. WLI Observation

In other part of the colon, similar aphthous ulcers arranged in longitudinal fashion with normal intervening mucosa (skip lesions) were seen throughout the colon.

7. TXI™ technology Observation

TXI™ technology observation enhanced the color and texture of these aphthous ulcers

8. NBI™ technology Observation

Under NBI™ technology observation, the surrounding normal mucosa displayed the normal honey-comb mesh capillary pattern

9. NBI™ technology Observation

Under NBI™ technology observation, the surrounding normal mucosa displayed the normal honey-comb mesh capillary pattern

10. WLI Observation

Another deep longitudinal ulcer was seen under WLI

11. TXI™ technology Observation

Overall Comment

This young female patient presented with chronic diarrhea for 1 ½ years prior to her consultation in this hospital. The endoscopic findings were classical of typical Crohn’s ileo-colitis: deep longitudinal ulcer with skip lesions and cobblestone appearance. She was started on steroid, azathioprine and was planned for biologic therapy.
