Hi,
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.
Subtle mural thickening means mild thickening of the wall. Terminal ileum is a part of your small intestine. So there is mild wall thickening in your terminal ileum. This is seen as a transient change in many patients as well. According to me there is nothing to worry an there is no significance of this as there is no significant thickening. This can be seen due to normal bowel peristalsis as well.
This problem is not at all serious and you should not be worried about it.
It does not need to be cured as there is no significant abnormality. So you can simply forget about it.
Hope it sorts your problem.
Regards,
