Background: In Crohn's disease (CD) patients, small intestine contrast ultrasonography (SICUS) accurately assesses small bowel lesions. Its diagnostic role is not known in the assessment of intraabdominal CD complications. The aim was to assess the value of SICUS to detect intestinal complications in patients with CD.
