Hi
I have Crohns, there's no debating that, but I got a copy of my MRE results today and I'd love to 'put it out there' and see what you all take from them.
Conclusion: Scattered regions of bowel wall thickening throughout the ileum including the terminal ileum and ileocecal valve in keeping with the chronic changes of crohns. Short segment mid to distal ileum hyperenhancement in keeping with active crohns disease. No fistual formation, obstructions or abscess throughout the large and small bowel.

- The terminal ileum and ileocecal valve demonstrates thickening without submucosal oedema or contrast hyperenhancement in keeping with chronic crohns changes.
- RIF small bowel wall thickening and stricturing as seen on the CT scan, approximately 28cm from the ileocecal junction. No hyperenhancement. No fistula.
- LIF mid to distal ileum short segment bowel wall hyperenhancement and thickening. Surrounding mesenteric fat stranding is in keeping with crohns flare. No fistula formation seen.
- Multiple scattered short segments of nonenhancing thickened ileal wall in the left lower quadrant without evidence of bowel obstruction.
- Large Bowel: Chronic ileocecal valve thickening as described. The ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid colon are normal.
Conclusion: Scattered regions of bowel wall thickening throughout the ileum including the terminal ileum and ileocecal valve in keeping with the chronic changes of crohns. Short segment mid to distal ileum hyperenhancement in keeping with active crohns disease. No fistual formation, obstructions or abscess throughout the large and small bowel.
