Although cyclosporin A has been reported to be effective in the treatment of severe ulcerative colitis, factors predicting its therapeutic efficacy remain unclear. Technical progress in endoscopic ultrasonography has improved visualisation of the structure of the colon wall. Here, to assess the value of endoscopic ultrasonography in predicting the response to cyclosporin A treatment, we evaluated the therapeutic effect of cyclosporin A by determining the pre- and post-cyclosporin A thickness of the mucosal layer in the rectum using endoscopic ultrasonography with an ultrasonic catheter probe.
