Three patients presented with a non-thrombocytopenic purpuric rash on their upper and lower limbs, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and arthralgia. Grey scale ultrasound showed abnormally thickened walls of the small bowel. Colour Doppler showed blood flow signals in the diseased bowel wall in all patients. Subsequent barium and endoscopic studies showed oedematous bowel loops with petechial lesions. Biopsy from the purpuric rash of the skin demonstrated vasculitis of subdermal small vessels. The clinical diagnosis of Henoch-Schönlein purpura was made in each case. This paper describes the efficacy of grey scale and colour Doppler ultrasonography in the assessment of the small bowel involvement of Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
