Summary

Buerger's disease, a rare arterial condition in heavy smokers, can affect visceral arteries. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for patients presenting with intestinal symptoms to prevent severe complications.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) is an uncommon arterial inflammatory disease.
  • It primarily affects young, heavy smokers, typically presenting with limb ischemia.
  • Visceral artery involvement is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of a 44-year-old female with Buerger's disease and mesenteric ischemic complications.
  • A literature review on visceral affection in Buerger's disease was conducted.
  • The rarity of intestinal involvement complicates early diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Patients with Buerger's disease experiencing intestinal symptoms require thorough evaluation.
  • Aortography and prompt laparoscopic assessment are vital for managing ischemic intestinal injury.

  • Emergency laparotomy is indicated in cases of hemodynamic instability.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering Buerger's disease in young patients with unexplained abdominal pain and vascular risk factors.
    • Emphasizes the need for early diagnostic and surgical intervention to improve outcomes in rare visceral Buerger's disease cases.
    • Underscores the diagnostic challenges and management strategies for mesenteric ischemia secondary to Buerger's disease.
