Abstract:
Crohn′s disease (CD) is a chronic nonspecific inflammatory bowel disease that can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract. The mesentery is a double-layered peritoneal structure formed by the mutual migration of the parietal and the visceral peritoneum, which anchors the organ to the peritoneum. The mesentery contains the blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes. In addition to providing physical support to the intestinal tube, the mesentery also provides the structural basis for maintaining homeostasis of the peri-intestinal immune environment. In CD, mesenteric abnormalities are closely associated with disease. This article reviews the role and clinical implication of mesentery in CD.
