A member asked:
Will capsule endoscopy identify cause of ulcers in terminal ileum seen in colonoscopy. biopsy confirmed focal ileitis with superficial erosion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Capsule endoscopy is: For small bowel evaluation where upper or lower endoscopy can't reach. It may give you information regarding the rest of small bowel. Its usually done to look for small bowel lesions or to find the source of a bleed where egd/colonoscopy is negative. In your case the better test is mr enetrography or a ct abd/pel with volumen contrast. Your GI doc should decide on further testing.
