Bowel thickening, also called thickening of the colon wall, is a medical term used to describe the swelling, widening, or hardening of the tissue and cells that make up the bowel wall. This condition results from inflammation of the tissues which leads to the narrowing of the bowel.
1 Intestinal inflammation in Crohn's disease involves the entire thickness of the bowel wall, whereas the inflammation in ulcerative colitis is confined to the inner lining. 2  Accordingly, complications such as intestinal strictures, fistulas, and fissures are far more common in Crohn's disease than in ulcerative colitis.
