Hi, Thickening of the small or large bowel wall may be caused by neoplastic, inflammatory, infectious, or ischaemic condition. When fat stranding is disproportionately more severe than the degree of wall thickening, inflammatory conditions are more likely. Kindly consult your surgeon for further evaluation...
