What is meant by Sclerosing Mesenteritis?
Sclerosing Mesenteritis, also known as mesenteric panniculitis, occurs when mesentery (the tissue) that holds small intestines in place becomes inflamed and forms a scar tissue. Sclerosing Mesenteritis is a rare condition, and it’s not clear what causes it.
Sclerosing Mesenteritis is an uncommon disorder that occurs most often in men between their fifth and sixth decades of life and is managed with surgery or medications.
