Skip lesions | Notion

![Skip lesions and patchy inflammation are a typical finding in Crohn's disease, in contrast to the continuous inflammation, which is seen in ulcerative colitis. Skip lesions refers to the interspersed inflammation "skipping" parts of the bowel, which are left unaffected (green arrows). The coronal T1 post-contrast image (left) and the T2 image (right) show skip lesions in the terminal ileum. The affected lesions show increased enhancement with a layered pattern (yellow arrows), while another part is unaffected or skipped (green arrows).
