Abstract
- Acute mesenteric thrombosis accounts for 25-30% of acute mesenteric ischemia and occurs usually alongside severe atherosclerotic disease. Acute mesenteric thrombosis primarily affects the superior mesenteric artery; thus, inferior mesenteric arterial thrombosis is an extremely rare form of the condition. Surgical treatment is mandatory to resolve impending or overt bowel infarction in acute mesenteric ischemia patients. However, here we report a case of colonic infarction caused by acute inferior mesenteric thrombosis successfully treated by conservative management.
