Computed tomographic diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery embolic thrombosis associated with renal and splenic
We describe a case of apparent embolic thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery that on computed tomography (CT) was noted unexpectedly, making the diagnosis of ischemic bowel disease straightforward. It occurred together with the typical CT findings of renal and splenic infarction. This diagnosis was verified by angiography that provided more information and was confirmed at surgery.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
