title: Clinical involvement of mesenteric and antimesenteric borders of small bowel loops. II. Radiologic interpretation of pathologic alterations.
abstract: Many small bowel abnormalities selectively involve the mesenteric or antimesenteric borders of small intestinal loops solely or predominantly.  This report documents the roentgen localization and diagnosis of a variety of intraabdominal disease states by their effects specifically on the mesenteric or antimesenteric margins of small bowel loops. The conditions with selective or predominant involvement of either the mesenteric or antimesenteric borders include diverticulosis, Meckel's diverticulum, intestinal duplication, seeded metastases, hematogenous metastases, regional enteritis, lymphoma, and intestinal ischemia and intramural bleeding.
