Mesenteric streaks refers to a radiological imaging (namely a Computed Tomography or CT scan) finding. The mesentery is a double-layer membrane (peritoneum) which holds the small bowel to the back wall of the abdomen. If this membrane is inflamed (due to infection or disease such as Crohn's), injured (trauma) or ischemic (deprived of oxygen) then the CT scan will show an area of so-called "streaking", "stranding" or "infiltration". This is a very general term and does not provide clear information as to the degree of injury.

What is the superior mesenteric ganglion?
The Ganglion is a fusion of nerves when defined in common terms. Superior means Above, Mesentric- Intestine(large), Ganglion (brain in the earth worm) In the upper part of the superior mesenteric plexus close to the origin of the superior mesenteric artery is a ganglion, the superior mesenteric ganglion. The superior mesenteric ganglion is the synapsing point for one of the pre- and post-synaptic nerves of the sympathetic division of the autonomous nervous system. This nerve goes on to innervate part of the large intestine.
What are the three veins that form and empty the hepatic portal vein?
The hepatic portal vein is created by the anastamoses between the superior mesenteric vein and spleinc vein. It is arguable that the inferior mesenteric vein joins at this same anastomoses but generally it actually joins the splenic vein which then meats the sup. mesenteric vein as stated above. The veins that drain into the portal vein (ie above the ansastmoses between the splenic and sup. mesenteric) are the cystic vein, the right gastric vein and the posterior-superior part of the pancreaticoduodenal vein.
What does the inferior mesenteric vein drain?
The Inferior Mesenteric Vein (iMV) drains into the splenic vein. The splenic vein ultimately "meets up" with the Superior Mesenteric Vein (SMV) to form the Hepatic Portal Vein (HPV)
