Ileal pouch surgery is the surgical gold standard treatment for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). However, ileal pouch surgery is a technically challenging procedure and is associated with high morbidity. Clinical presentations of pouch complications are often nonspecific but imaging can identify many of these complications and is essential in clinical management. This paper will focus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the ileal pouch, including recommended MRI protocol and approach to imaging interpretation with an emphasis on those ileal pouch complications particularly well evaluated with MRI.
