چکیده
OCCLUSIVE SYNDROME CAUSED BY MESENTERIC VENOUS INFARCTION, ASSOCIATED WITH RAYNAUD SYNDROME (Abstract): Mesenteric infarction, a rare process in young, presents with unspecific clinical features of which abdominal pain and obstipation are dominant. Because many clinicians are unfamiliar with the condition, they fail to diagnose it early; the subsequent negative course then requires intestinal resection. We describe the case of a young private with acute abdominal pain and obstipation, diagnosed intraoperatively with extensive enteromesenteric infarction of venous type. Small bowel resection of almost half of the total length was sufficient and curative regardless the performance of the anastomosis with the last ten centimeters of the ileum.

Mesenteric ischaemia results from decreased blood flow to the bowel, causing cellular injury from lack of oxygen and nutrients. Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is an uncommon disorder with high morbidity and mortality, but outcomes are improved with prompt recognition and aggressive treatment. Five subgroups of AMI have been identified, with superior mesenteric artery embolism (SMAE) the most ...

The article reviews the intestinal ischemia theme on newborn and children. The intestinal ischemia may be either acute - intestinal infarction (by vascular obstruction or by reduced mesenteric blood flow besides the occlusive mechanism), either chronic. In neonates, acute intestinal ischemia may be caused by aortic thrombosis, volvulus or hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In children, acute inte...
متن کاملAcute mesenteric ischemia and hepatic infarction after treatment of ectopic Cushing’s syndrome
SUMMARY Patients with Cushing's syndrome and excess exogenous glucocorticoids have an increased risk for venous thromboembolism, as well as arterial thrombi. The patients are at high risk of thromboembolic events, especially during active disease and even in cases of remission and after surgery in Cushing's syndrome and withdrawal state in glucocorticoid users. We present a case of Cushing's sy...
