We evaluated 4 cases of lupus enteritis by US, abdominal X-ray and CT. On US examinations, in particular, we observed ascites and edematous thickening of the small intestine where Kerckring folds with submucosal edema resembled an accordion. After steroid treatment and consequent improvement of the disease, we noticed disappearance of the intestinal thickening and ascites on US examination, compatible with the diagnosis of lupus enteritis. Based on these results, US was useful for the diagnosis and follow-up of lupus enteritis.
我们通过超声、腹部X线和CT对4例狼疮性肠炎患者进行了评估。特别是在超声检查中，我们观察到腹水以及小肠的水肿增厚，其中伴有黏膜下水肿的克尔克林皱襞类似手风琴。在接受类固醇治疗且病情随之改善后，我们注意到超声检查显示肠道增厚和腹水消失，这与狼疮性肠炎的诊断相符。基于这些结果，超声对狼疮性肠炎的诊断和随访有用。
