Mesenteric lymphadenitis
Mesenteric lymphadenitis is an inflammatory condition characterized by the enlargement and inflammation of the lymph nodes in the mesentery, the tissue that connects the intestines to the abdominal wall. It often presents with symptoms like abdominal pain, fever, and gastrointestinal distress, making it easily confused with appendicitis due to similar symptoms.

Mesenteric lymphadenitis is typically caused by viral or bacterial infections and tends to be a self-limiting condition. In most cases, it can be managed with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter pain relievers. However, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional to rule out more serious conditions and ensure appropriate care.
