  • Title: Mesenteric vasculitis causing ileocecal intussusception as the initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus: a case report.
    Author: Lin YJ, Chen PC, Chen HA.
    Journal: Clin Rheumatol; 2013 Mar; 32 Suppl 1():S37-40. PubMed ID: 20238134.
    Abstract:
    Mesenteric vasculitis is one of the most devastating complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and may produce a spectrum of complications, including ulceration, hemorrhage, bowel necrosis, perforation, serositis, and ascites. Intussusception is a process in which a segment of intestine invaginates into the adjoining intestinal lumen, causing bowel obstruction. Intussusception in association with SLE has rarely been reported. Here we report a case of SLE whose initial presentation was mesenteric vasculitis causing ileocecal intussusception.
