When conventional laboratory markers and physical examinations fail to yield a definitive diagnosis, radiologists and clinicians must consider non-mechanical, fluid-mediated causes of bowel wall thickening. Intestinal angioedema is a distinct, often underdiagnosed clinical entity characterized by localized, transient submucosal edema of the gastrointestinal tract. This condition can mimic acute surgical abdomen, leading to unnecessary exploratory laparotomies if imaging findings are misread.

Key Clinical Questions What are the characteristic MDCT imaging features t...
