LOPEZ ZENTENO, Bianca Eunice; CORNELIO RODRIGUEZ, Georgina y AMADOR MENA, Eduardo. Intestinal Ischemia Due to Mesenteric Thrombosis in a Geriatric Patient, Solved by Intervention. Case Report. Rev. Fac. Med. (Méx.) [online]. 2020, vol.63, n.2, pp.24-32. Epub 05-Mar-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.
