Can colonoscopy detect mesenteric lipomatosis?

Mesenteric lipomatitis cannot be detected by colonoscopy.
Mesenteric lipomatitis is a non-specific inflammatory disease that occurs in the adipose tissue of the abdominal cavity and is not inside the intestinal tube, while colonoscopy is mainly used to observe the damage and lesions of the mucosa of the inner wall of the intestinal tube, and it cannot see the situation outside the intestinal tube, so colonoscopy cannot detect mesenteric lipomatitis.
The diagnosis of mesenteric lipomatosis should be made by combining clinical symptoms, physical examination, blood test, liver and kidney function, immunological examination, ultrasound, CT examination, magnetic resonance imaging, angiography and other examination results.
Once diagnosed, it is necessary to actively carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and commonly used treatments include medication, surgery, etc. Commonly used medications include prednisone, cyclophosphamide, and so on. The above drugs are recommended to be used under the guidance of professional physicians.
