Crohn's disease is hallmarked by mesenteric abnormalities including thickening, shortening and extension ofmesenteric fat over the intestinal surface (“fat wrapping” or “creeping fat”) (Coffey et al., 2016; Peyrin-Biroulet et al., 2007; Sheehan et al., 1992; Crohn et al., 1932). Mesenteric and submucosal mesenchymal abnormalities overlap in histological appearance and both inflammatory fronts meet to generate transmural inflammation (Coffey and O'leary, 2016).
