Figure 1 Retrograde ileoscopy showing an ulcer in the terminal ileum.

Figure 2 Ulcers and nodularity of the terminal ileal mucosa. The endoscopic lesions were confined only to the terminal ileum and colonoscopy till the cecum did not reveal any abnormality.

Figure 3 Histological appearance of the mucosal biopsies obtained from the lesion shown in Figure 1. Note the presence of noncaseating granulomas (HE × 40).
