Abstract
Ureteral obstruction is a seldom recognized complication of Crohn's disease and its incidence and natural history are unknown. The intravenous pyelogram findings in 5 cases of Crohn's disease are discussed and it is suggested that ureteral involvement signifies severe disease necessitating operation. The operative treatment of 1 of the cases by ureterolysis plus bowel excision is presented and discussed. Routine intravenous urography is recommended as part of the assessment of cases of Crohn's disease.
