    Retractile mesenteritis, a sclerosing disease, can cause colonic obstruction. Radiologists and clinicians should recognize its radiographic features to aid diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Retroperitoneal fibrosis is linked to various sclerosing diseases.
    • Retractile mesenteritis is a rare variant predominantly affecting the small intestine mesentery.

    Observation:

    • This report details two patients presenting with significant colonic obstruction.
    • Both patients exhibited similar radiographic findings suggestive of mesenteritis.

    Findings:

    • Retractile mesenteritis can manifest as a primary cause of colonic obstruction.
    • Radiographic imaging plays a crucial role in identifying this condition.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness of retractile mesenteritis is needed among clinicians and radiologists.
