Abstract: We report the case of a 61-year-old woman, with no past medical or surgical history, who consulted for an occlusive syndrome. On examination, she had no fever; her abdomen was distended and showed subumbilical tenderness. Laboratory tests revealed a marked biological inflammatory syndrome. Abdominal CT revealed a distended small bowel upstream of a regular thickening of the last ileal loop which showed an enhancement defect, densification of the mesenteric fat with distortion of the vessels within it and a comb-like appearance of the mesentery suggestive of mesenteric panniculitis (MP) (Figure 1).
