Thirty two patients with confirmed Crohn's disease were examined from october 1983 to may 1985 by ultrasound (42 examinations) and by Conventional Contrast Radiology (Barium Contrast Studies). The well-know "target" pattern is the most frequent feature (88%) which is characteristic of the thickening bowel wall. The thickening is more important for the small bowel wall than the large bowel wall. But the "target" pattern is not the single pattern of inflammation involving the bowel. We also find a "rosette" pattern. This third ring is hypo or hyperechogenic or more complex. Other infrequent features are noted: solid abdominal masses, distended loops, luminal narrowing, fistula and stiffness. Because sonography is noninvasive and simple to perform without radiation exposure, it must often be used as the initial diagnostic tool and as the follow-up test for young people.
