Mezenterik pannikülit (Olgu sunumu)

Abstract

Mesenteric panniculitis is a rare disorder characterized by a chronic nonspecific inflammation involving the adipose tissue of the bowel mesentery. Present knowledge suggests that the disease represent a spectrum of pathologic findings ranging from mesenteric panniculitis to retractile mesenteritis. Although infection, surgery and trauma have been implicated in etiology, the cause remains unknown in most cases. In this report, we present a case of mesenteric panniculitis in which small-bowel radiography, barium enema, CT and MR imaging were performed. Radiologie features of mesenteric panniculitis were discussed.
