Abstract

Ischemic enteritis is an uncommon occurence, and is seldom diagnosed before operation. We describe a case of superior mesenteric arterial obstruction, which was diagnosed by abdominal angiography, and a re view the Japanese literature of inchemic enteritis. A 51-year old woman was admitted to our hospital because of abdominal pain and watery diarrhea. Contrast radiography of the small intestine showed a segmental stenosis and longitudinal ulcer at the terminal ileum. The patient's symptoms were suggestive of Crohn's dis ease, and conservative treatment improved her symptoms. However, these symptoms recurred repeatedly with the resumption of oral diet. Abdominal CT detected two infarcted lesions of the spleen and the right kid ney which suggested a systemic vascular disease. Abdominal angiography revealed an obstruction of the su perior mesenteric artery in the middle of the surgical trunk with collateral circulation. Under the diagnosis of ischemic enteritis complicated with small intestinal stricture, partial resection of the ileum was performed 4 monthes after the onset of the disease. Pathological examination revealed a deep ulcer with severe granula tion, prominent fibrosis, and hemosiderin devoured by macrophages.
