IBD-related spondyloarthropathy (“gut-synovial axis”) – Most common! Peripheral (5 -20%) Axial • Symmetric non-deforming arthritis • Inflammatory back pain • Usually self-limiting • Spondyloarthritis (16 -46%) • Large weight-bearing joints • Ankylosing spondylitis (1 -16%) • Non-spesific findings: enthesitis, joint effusion, periarticular osteopenia, dactylitis Imaging important!
Spondyloarthritis – ASAS MRI working group (Assessment in Spondylo. Arthritis International Society) Active inflammatory lesions Structural damage lesions • Bone marrow edema/osteitis • Subchondral sclerosis • Synovitis • Erosions • Enthesitis • Fat deposition • Capsulitis • Ankylosis (bone bridging) Lambert et al.

Ankylosing spondylitis (1 -16%) • Diagnosed when both the • clinical criteria (back pain, stiffness and/or limitation of motion) and • the imaging criteria for sacroiliitis (grade 2 or more bilaterally or grade 3 -4 unilaterally) • are met.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) – most severe! • 70 -80% PSC patients have IBD • 1. 4 -7. 5% IBD patients have PSC
“A patchwork of different phenotypes” The PSC Institute, Rikshospitalet, Norway
Diagnostic work-up • Tricky diagnostics (symptoms? alkaline phosphatase levels? ) • MR cholangiography (sens 80 %, spes 87 %) • ERCP • Biopsy – Small duct PSC 5 -10 % • Complications? risk of colorectal cancer (x 5) risk of cholangiocarcinoma (x 160 -1500) Follow-up!

CCA – 5 -15 % life time incidence in patients with PSC! • Overlapping imaging findings • Look for: – Focal thickening – Focal Biliary dilatation – Capsular retractions – Portal vein invasion – Fibrous tissue in CCA delayed enhancement

Osteoporosis (15%) • Etiology: inflammatory-mediated bone resorption, malabsorption, poor diet, corticosteroids, reduced physical activity • Underdiagnosed. . . L 1 - values ≤ 135 HU: Sens 76%, Spes 75% for osteoporosis
Neurological manifestations • Rare, secondary? Drug-induced?

Which EIMs are attributable to IBD? To what extent? - 56, 097 IBD patients were matched to 280, 382 non-IBD controls - Associated with IBD: PSC (OR = 188. 25), pyoderma gangrenosum (OR = 29. 24), ankylosing spondylitis (OR = 7. 07), erythema nodosum (OR = 5. 95), uveitis (OR = 2. 81), sacroiliitis (OR = 2. 79), non-rheumatoid inflammatory arthritides (OR = 2. 66)
Cardiovascular manifestations of IBD
Aims of diagnostic imaging Assess and characterize: - Disease extent Establish the diagnosis of IBD - Disease activity Characterize CD behavior: Assess - Inflammatory - Complications - Fibrostenosing - Fistulizing - Systemic manifestations of IBD Suggest additional examinations
Summary • IBD is a systemic disease with increasing incidence rates • Radiologic imaging is indispensable in modern care of IBD patients • CT and MR techniques offer excellent imaging of intra- and extra-luminal disease • Get used to reporting complications and other manifestations of IBD! Avoid “Satisfaction of search”!
