Hi thanks for contacting health care magic....
Noted you have mainly thickened wall and stricture with enlargement of mesenteric node....
So it could be of infective etiology ....
As here there is thickness of wall...So tuberculosis or typhoid ulcer stricture could be the cause........
To rule out perfect diagnosis you need an colonoscopy examination and subsequent biopsy ...That has to be sent for histopathological examination.......
If tuberculosis granuloma will be seen in microscopy....
If needed AFB stain can be done.....
Take care.
Hope your query solved.......
