Scintiangiographic diagnosis of acute mesenteric venous thrombosis.
Scintiangiographic findings of prolonged mesenteric activity in a case of acute mesenteric thrombosis is described and 105 cases with abdominal scintiangiography are reviewed. Usual peak mesenteric blush occurred 5--15 sec after initial visualization of the aorta. Normal clearance of this activity was 15--30 sec. Future cases should confirm the importance of this observation in early diagnosis of mesenteric venous thrombosis.
