Crohn's disease. Pill camera (capsule endoscopy) footage of the final (terminal) section of the ileum in Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease causes inflammation, thickening, and ulceration of the intestinal tract. Its cause is unknown and there is no cure. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhoea and the malabsorption of food, leading to weight loss. The ileum is the final section of the small intestine. This footage was obtained by a camera in a pill-shaped capsule that was swallowed by the patient. | |
