Question:
A young healthy male patient presented with abdominal pain and history of altered bowel habits from the last 6 months. On CT examination, there was dilated distal pa of ileum, thickened ileocecal junction with thickened cecum with presence of sacculations on the antimesenteric border.

[2025-10-02T10:12:41.981976] [PI reasoning] **Analyzing CT features in colitis**

I'm identifying CT features typical of ulcerative colitis, such as continuous colon without sacculations, suggesting answer A is likely correct. I can reference a review that distinguishes ulcerative colitis from Crohn's disease based on the location, extent of wall thickening, and related complications. Continuous disease from rectum with minimal mesenteric involvement further supports this. Additionally, Crohn's has asymmetrical thickening with sacculations, while ischemic bowel disease shows different characteristics. I should provide concise reasoning for my final answer.
