  • Title: Acute mesenteric ischaemia: the continuing difficulty in early diagnosis.
    Author: Heys SD, Brittenden J, Crofts TJ.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1993 Jan; 69(807):48-51. PubMed ID: 8446551.
    Abstract:
    Five cases of acute intestinal ischaemia due to occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery, all with a delay in diagnosis, are reported here. These cases illustrate the continuing difficulties, in clinical practice, in recognizing mesenteric ischaemia before intestinal infarction has occurred, despite the clinical awareness of this condition.
