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. , |
