Henoch's purpura involve often the small intestine. These involvement are rarely visualised by radiology. They consist of submucosal edema with thickening of the folds and hematoma with intramural thumbprints on the mesenteric border. The lesions are segmental. The disease process is reversible and healing is complete without stenosis or fibrosis.
