  • Title: [Mesenteric inflammatory veno-occlusive disease (MIVOD)--an underdiagnosed disease?].
    Author: Seidl H, Schmidt T, Helmberger T, Gundling F, Nerlich A, Schepp W.
    Journal: Z Gastroenterol; 2010 Apr; 48(4):482-5. PubMed ID: 20352595.
    Abstract:
    Mesenteric, inflammatory veno-occlusive disease is an entity of unknown incidence and aetiology. Inflammation and necrosis of mesenteric veins leads to severe ischaemic damage of an intestinal segment. The clinical and endoscopic presentation can be ambiguous. However, modern multiphasic contrast-enhanced computed tomography allows early diagnosis, when characteristic features are considered. As local resection is the only known cure with minimal risk of recurrent disease, knowledge of this rare disease entity can spare our patients a risky delay of resection and erroneous therapeutic approaches.
