Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is an uncommon inflammatory condition centered on the root of the mesentery. Modern MRI is the optimal imaging technique for MP, and the sequence that most consistently demonstrates it is 3-D out-of-phase T1 gradient echo imaging. MP is invariably seen in the setting of inflammation of the upper digestive tract, most notably the jejunum. At least 10% of individuals with the (Splanchnic) Metabolic Syndrome possess MP, and it is also observed with less advanced inflammatory conditions of the upper digestive tract, including irritable bowel syndrome. In this report, we describe the state of the knowledge on mesenteric panniculitis, including imaging findings on MRI. We also report the clinical picture, focused on patient aspects. MP is much more common than previously thought, reflecting the higher imaging resolution available on modern MRI.

This review article describes the imaging techniques, interpretation, and findings of inflammatory changes in the upper digestive tract, including the distal esophagus, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. These are the least understood of all abdominal imaging observations and, hence, rarely described in reports. Upper digestive tract imaging findings are poorly understood at present. An illustration of inflammation of all these segments is reported herein. MRI is the optimal technique for studying Leaky Gut, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and Splanchnic Metabolic Syndrome. This opens new avenues of research and clinical interpretation.
