title: [Intraperitoneal vascular emergencies].
abstract: Intraperitoneal vascular lesions constitute severe causes of acute abdomen. These disorders include ischemia and infarction of colon and small bowel and abdominal hemorrhage. In case of intestinal ischemia, the radiologic procedures are performed in order to establish the diagnostic, identify the site of ischemia, and detect the etiology of ischemia. Plain radiography of the abdomen, ultrasonography, CT scan and angiography may be performed. In case of intestinal hemorrhage, angiography may be performed when endoscopy fails to establish the diagnosis. Embolization can be performed in selected cases.
