## Background: The value of capsule endoscopy in the setting of inflammatory bowel disease type unclassified (IBDU) and indeterminate colitis (IC) remains obscure. The aim was to evaluate the clinical impact of capsule endoscopy on IBDU/IC patients with negative serology. Methods: Eighteen patien

โฆ Synopsis
Over the last 8 years, capsule endoscopy (CE) has revolutionized the visualization of the small bowel. In 2004 this journal published ''Capsule endoscopy in IBD: past, present and future'' Kornbluth et al [2004] Inflamm Bowel Dis 10:278-285). In this article we review advances since that time and discuss whether CE has achieved its potential and what remaining goals it can and should hope to achieve. In the 2004 article we listed a series of clinical questions to be answered with regard to the use of capsule endoscopy We review those questions that have been addressed in the intervening 5 years, and also update those topics for which information was available at the time of the initial article.

Capsule endoscopy (CE) is an innovative technological breakthrough that for the first time provides a noninvasive method to obtain high-resolution imaging of the entire small bowel. Since its recent inception, the diagnostic utility of CE has become well established for the evaluation of diverse ulc
## Background: Wireless capsule endoscopy (wce) can identify small bowel mucosal lesions not seen with other imaging modalities. this technique can therefore play an important diagnostic role in the evaluation of patients with inflammatory bowel disease type unclassified (ibdu). we report on a mult
