    Journal: Rev Med Interne; 2002 May; 23(5):465-8. PubMed ID: 12064219.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Enterocolic phlebitis is an entity characterized by ischemic injury of the gastrointestinal tract caused by thrombophlebitis of the mesenteric veins without arterial involvement or systemic disease. EXEGESIS: We report a case of enterocolic phlebitis in a 57-year-old female treated by rutoside, revealed by intestinal obstruction related to a pseudotumoral lesion of the caecum. CONCLUSION: This case adds to the four cases of enterocolic phlebitis under rutoside already reported in the literature, suggesting a possible involvement of this drug in this rare disease.
