Wireless capsule endoscopy and proximal small bowel lesions in Crohn’s disease

Figure 1 Plain film of the abdomen from one Crohn’s disease patient showing capsule retention for 12 wk, with no associated symptoms. The patient had 2 anastomoses (ileo-ileal and ileo-colonic). Surgical removal was required, showing wireless capsule endoscopy within the “cul de sac” of the side-to-side ileo-ileal anastomosis not reachable by the endoscope.
