Response on IUS and paired colonoscopy in the most severely affected segment [descending colon]. BWT decreases with 22% at T1 from 5.5 mm [T0] to 4.3 mm [T1]. At T2, BWT decreased further to 2.6 mm or 53% with regards to baseline. Also colour Doppler signal showed improvement over time and colonic haustrations returned. SES-CD = 7 at baseline, with deep ulcerations present. At T2, SES-CD = 0 with no ulcers present; presence of pseudopolyps and mucosal scar tissue. SES-CD, Simple Endoscopic Score-Crohn’s Disease; BWT, bowel wall thickness; IUS, intestinal ultrasound; T, time.
