    Diagnosing acute mesenteric occlusion is challenging, often delaying treatment. Early intervention is crucial for better outcomes in patients with this critical intestinal condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Context:

    • Acute mesenteric occlusion presents a diagnostic challenge in clinical practice.
    • Delayed diagnosis significantly impacts treatment efficacy and patient prognosis.
    • The study reviews twenty-one cases to analyze diagnostic timelines and surgical outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To highlight the difficulties in achieving timely diagnosis of acute mesenteric occlusion.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical interventions for mesenteric occlusion.
    • To identify challenges associated with extensive intestinal resection.

    Summary:

    • Presents twenty-one cases of acute mesenteric occlusion, emphasizing diagnostic delays ranging from 1 to 8 days post-symptom onset.
    • Discusses high postoperative mortality associated with radical surgical procedures, including extensive resection and right hemicolectomy.
