Chronic mesenteric ischemia, or intestinal angina, is caused by blocked arteries supplying the gut. This case study highlights diagnostic methods and atypical symptoms like gastric issues in patients with this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a clinical syndrome resulting from reduced blood flow in the splanchnic arteries.
  • It is characterized by the triad of postprandial abdominal pain, fear of eating (sitophobia), and unintentional weight loss.
  • Symptoms arise from episodic tissue hypoxia, similar to angina pectoris and claudication.

Observation:

  • The case involves a 50-year-old woman with intestinal angina due to the complete blockage of all three major splanchnic arteries.
  • The patient presented with classic symptoms of CMI.
  • The authors detail the disease progression and diagnostic journey.

Findings:

  • Newer diagnostic approaches, including Doppler ultrasound and helical CT angiography of splanchnic vessels, are emphasized.

  • These imaging techniques aid in visualizing the extent of splanchnic artery obstruction.
  • The case underscores the importance of considering CMI in patients with unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms.

    • Implications:

    • CMI can manifest with atypical clinical presentations beyond the classic triad.
    • Gastric ulceration and chronic ischemic gastritis are potential complications of CMI.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis through advanced imaging is crucial for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.
