    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Mesenteric infarction presents diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and signs.
    • High surgical mortality rates underscore the severity of this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of mesenteric infarction to identify key clinical, laboratory, and radiographic features.
    • To highlight challenges in diagnosis and discuss management strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of twenty-three cases of mesenteric infarction.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and radiographic data.

    Main Results:

    • Patients were typically over 60 years old with severe, poorly localized pain.

  • Common laboratory findings included hemoconcentration and leukocytosis.
  • Radiographic findings were often nonspecific, especially early in the disease course.

    • Conclusions:

    • Mesenteric infarction is associated with high surgical mortality and frequent misdiagnosis.
    • Prompt diagnosis and etiology-specific surgical intervention are essential.
    • Postoperative hyperalimentation may aid in nutritional support and patient adaptation.
