A member asked:
Can mild thickening and fat in wall of large bowel including sigmoid colon and right colon on ct scan be normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: While fat within the intestinal wall is often thought of as a reliable marker for inflammatory bowel disease, studies have shown that in the absence of clinical or other radiologic evidence of inflammatory bowel disease, the presence of fat in the intestinal wall may represent a normal finding. There is also thought to be some association with obesity.

My recent CT scan says, "Bowel Structures: There is mild thickening to the sigmoid colon likely due to incomplete distention rather than colitis. There's no small bowel obstruction." Should I be concerned? Advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you?
I had a CT scan done for pain in my lower abdomen, the results show that I have a collapsed sigmoid colon. What does this mean and what can be done ?
Had a CT scan few days back at Urgent care. No evidence of bowel obstruction was found. Impression was mild colonic wall thickening in descending colon through the rectum may be mild colitis vs under distension. Should I worry about this?
I had a ct scan and it was all good but it did say mild thickening of the wall of the mid sigmoid colon, probably due to muscular hypertrophy. What does this mean and is it serious? Went in to check for diverticulitis and I had a very mild case?
