Abstract Urological complications of regional enteritis occur frequently and may be clinically unsuspected. Radiographic findings include nephrolithiasis, characteristic stricture of the ureter, panvesiculitis, and enterovesical fistula. Less specific findings include renal amyloidosis and retroperitoneal abscesses. Mucosal nodularity of the bladder dome, even without gastrointestinal symptoms, should raise the possibility of regional enteritis. On the other hand, occult ureteral stenosis in patients with known regional enteritis may be present. For this reason, it is recommended that routine and periodic excretory urograms be a central part of the evaluation of the patient with regional enteritis.
