The revised Porto criteria are an ESPGHAN diagnostic framework for suspected pediatric inflammatory bowel disease. They bring clinical assessment together with upper endoscopy, ileocolonoscopy, and small-bowel evaluation to establish the disease pattern. In typical ulcerative colitis established endoscopically and histologically, small-bowel imaging may be deferred. The framework helps organize the investigation and distinguish ulcerative colitis, Crohn disease, and IBD-unclassified.
