Typical lesions in Upper GI Crohn’s Disease
• Invariably accompanied by small bowel / colonicdisease
• Prospective studies: 17 – 75 % (sympt and asympt)
• Retrospective studies: 0.5 – 13 % • Oral (6-9%) > gastroduodenal (1.8-4.5%) >
oesophageal (1.8%)• Oesophageal CD: aphthous ulcers, punched-out
ulcers, erosions, strictures

Measurement of Endoscopic Disease Activity in Crohn’s Disease
• The Crohn’s Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity (CDEIS)
• The Simple Endoscopic Index for Crohn’sDisease (SES-CD)
• The Rutgeerts’ score for postoperative recurrence

Endoscopy in ActiveUlcerative Colitis
• Full ileocolonoscopy recommended at diagnosis• Flexible sigmoidoscopy sufficient for F/U• No bowel prep needed in pts with active
symptoms• Continuous involvement (caution: treatment
effects)• Caution in fulminant colitis !• Deep ulcers in spite of therapy : poor prognostic
sign• Biopsies to be taken in relapse ! (CMV, C Diff, …)

Endoscopic scores for UC
• Useful since endoscopic improvement lagsbehind symptom improvement and endoscopic healing is an endpoint that is aimed at
• Problematic ‘inter-observer variability’• Problem of definitions: friability ? granularity
? Ulcers ?

Healing in UC: points to consider
• Active UC is associated with a higher likelihood of dysplasia/cancer
• Endoscopy correlates well with histology and ‘histological healing’ predicts longer ‘time to relapse’ (Riley at al.)
• In ACT, if healing at w8 (score 0): 4 x higher likelihood of clinical remission at w 30 (43.8 % vs9.5 %)

Crohn’s disease histology: general features
• CD can affect the entire GI tract• CD is a segmental disease• CD is a transmural disease
– Mucosal lesions > endoscopic samples– Deeply situated lesions > surgical samples

Crohn’s disease microscopicfeatures : early lesions
• Early lesions occur in a background of normal mucosa (focal lesions)
• Types– Summit lesions : damage of small capillaries and
loss of epithelial cells– Epithelial patchy necrosis– Mucosal microulcerations (loss of up to 6 cells)– Aphthoid ulcer– Mountain peak ulcer : ulcers at the base of crypts

Geboes Index: different grades used for evaluation of histologic disease severity in UC
Geboes Index:
Grade 0: Structural (architectural) changes0= No abnormality, 1= Mild abnormality, 2= Mild or moderate diffuse or multifocal abnormalities, 3= Severe diffuse or multifocal abnormalities
Grade 1: Chronic inflammatory infiltrate0= No increase, 1= Mild but unequivocal increase, 2= Moderate increase, 3= Marked increase
Grade 2: Lamina propria neutrophils and eosinophils2A Eosinophils0= No increase, 1= Mild but unequivocal increase, 2= Moderate increase, 3= Marked increase
2B Neutrophils0= No increase, 1= Mild but unequivocal increase, 2= Moderate increase, 3= Marked increase
Grade 3: Neutrophils in epithelium0= None, 1= < 5% crypts involved, 2=< 50% crypts involved, 3=> 50% crypts involved
Grade 4: Crypt destruction0=None, 1=Probable – local excess of neutrophils in part of crypt, 2=Probable – marked attenuation, 3=Unequivocal crypt destruction
Grade 5:Erosion or ulceration0=No erosion, ulceration, or granulation tissue, 1= Recovering epithelium + adjacent inflammation, 2= Probable erosion – focally stripped, 3= Unequivocal erosion, 4= Ulcer or granulation tissue

Conclusions• In UC endoscopic (and histological) scores are
absolutely recommended in the assessment of disease activity and effects of drug therapy
• In Crohn’s disease endoscopic endpoints are gradually entering routine clinical practice and should be part of the evaluation of drug effects
• More research is needed to ascertain if ‘healingof the mucosa’ should be the ultimate goal of treatment in CD
