Core Tip
Core Tip: This systematic review explores the diagnostic challenges and implications of duodenal Crohn’s disease (DCD), a rare subtype. Delayed diagnosis can worsen DCD outcomes, emphasizing the need for improved diagnostic methods. The study considers various diagnostic approaches, including radiology scans and endoscopy procedures, highlighting their limitations and the importance of biopsy and histopathology. Further research is essential to enhance DCD diagnosis, particularly in high-risk patients during routine endoscopy.
