Abstract :

Chronic inflammatory bowel disease have been the major focus of research in gastroenterology these late years. It is due to the elevated incidence of comorbidity as well as complications. MRI, endoscopy as well as histology are the three pillars of the diagnosis, follow-up and prognosis of these pathological entities. Our aim for this study was to determine the relationship between the radiologic, endoscopic modalities and the histological severity of the active disease.
