Rev. Fac. Med. (Méx.) [online]. 2020, vol.63, n.2, pp.24-32.  Epub Mar 05, 2021. ISSN 2448-4865.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fm.24484865e.2020.63.2.04.

Mesenteric thrombosis represents a vascular urgency caused by the abrupt interruption of blood flow, whether arterial or venous; clinical presentation can be nonspecific, which can represent a diagnostic challenge. According to its vascular etiology, a different therapeutic approach is required. If there is clinical suspicion or signs of peritonitis, the imaging diagnosis can support to identify the presented pathology.

On this occasion, there is a clinical case of an 84-year-old patient who goes to the emergency department for generalized abdominal pain, which led to a diagnostic imaging study, to confirm this finding.

Keywords : Intestinal ischemia; atherosclerosis; Mesenteric thrombosis; catheterization.
