Abstract

The CT appearance of gastrointestinal involvement in Henoch-Schonlein syndrome is described. The protean manifestations of this disorder are easily confused both clinically and radiographically with those of many other conditions. Mural thickening, thickened folds, ulceration, and spasm are seen radiographically. The CT appearance of segmental mural thickening and luminal narrowing correlates well with the abnormalities seen on the small-bowel series and upper endoscopy.
